Hanover: your questions answered
Is Hanover close to London?
About 46 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Could you trade in Queen's Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
What can visitors choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Hanover?
Next to a volunteer barbecue, a chip van frees your helpers. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.

Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Share any nut or allergy policies
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
- Agree how we will be paid: pitch fee, share of takings or minimum
- Share pitch details
Crew food is served at the agreed time.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.
Hanover events: pitches and permissions
Hanover is about 1 mile south of Brighton, in Brighton and Hove. For an event in Hanover, we can park on a drive, a car park, a yard or firm, dry grass in and around Hanover. Hanover is one of 30 towns and villages in Brighton and Hove we cover.
A school like Elm Grove Primary School can book the van for a fair, fun run or sports day. If visitors are coming by train, the nearest station is Brighton station, about 0.6 miles west. Within about 7 miles is the South Downs National Park, where events may have extra rules on vehicles and waste; we work to the site rules. The coast is within about a mile of Hanover, so for seaside events we plan a sheltered pitch.
Events anywhere in BN2, BN1 and BN50 start with a parking spot for the van and roughly how many visitors. From Elmore Road, London Road and Milton Road or anywhere nearby, we can park up and fry there. Neighbouring places where we serve events include Brighton (1 mile north), Carlton Hill (1 mile south), West Hill (1 mile west), Seven Dials (1 mile west) and Kemptown (1 mile south-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Brighton and Hove (3 miles west), Aldrington (3 miles west), Hangleton (3 miles north-west), Patcham (3 miles north), Westdene (3 miles north-west) and Saltdean (4 miles south-east). As one of the bigger places in Brighton and Hove, Hanover has lots of places where the van can park.
A little further out are Old Police Cells Museum (0.8 miles south-west) and Brighton General Hospital (0.6 miles east). Within reach you’ll find Whitehawk Hill and Newmarket Hill.
- Local schools include Academy of Creative Training (0.6 miles south) and Brighton Girls (1 mile west)
- Local pubs include The Dover Castle pub (within half a mile south)
What affects the price in Hanover
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether a minimum applies
- How easy the site is to reach
- Your choice of menu
- The length of service
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Rough numbers for adults and children

How it works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your visitors, and we agree exactly where before the day. December events in Hanover lose the light at about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there’s light until about 8:50pm.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
Ask for a quote
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
