About our fish and chip van for events in Moulsecoomb
The smell of fish and chips brings a queue to any fête. A chip van gives organisers a hot-food trader that almost everyone wants. We serve sausage and chips, curry sauce and chips, and we are often booked for crew and volunteer catering and village fêtes.
In Moulsecoomb, one popular trader keeps it simple. A chip van does that. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many people are eating
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Whether a minimum applies
- Service time
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your event.

Questions from Moulsecoomb
Which station is closest to Moulsecoomb?
Moulsecoomb station, in Moulsecoomb itself.
Can the van park in Wild Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Do you come to Moulsecoomb?
We do. We serve events in Moulsecoomb and across Brighton and Hove. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Do you trade at schools?
Yes, once the school agrees where the van goes. Send us the date and the spot.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac visitors and we will explain the options before booking.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Organising for someone else?
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.

Step by step
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. Evening events in Moulsecoomb have light until about 9:15pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- 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

Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
