Fish and chip van hire in Brighton Hill
Fish and chip van hire in Brighton Hill, cooked to order
Hiring a fish and chip van brings the chip shop to your door. We park up, heat the fryers and cook to order, so every portion goes out hot and crisp. Typical bookings include festive get-togethers and village fêtes and school fairs, with haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
There may be a hall or club near Brighton Hill if the drive is small; the van can work at any of them, with permission. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Count children separately
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive in good time, set up, cook and serve, and stay in touch about any changes.
Bunting or festoon lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
How we price a fish and chip van
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- How far we travel
- How easy the site is to reach
- Service time
- Numbers
Larger groups usually cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, use our quote form.

Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Organising for someone else?
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Your questions about a fish and chip van in Brighton Hill
Is Brighton Hill close to London?
About 47 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
We’re gathering after a service at The Church Of Christ The King: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Is it a full meal?
It can be. A portion of fish, chips and peas is a proper meal.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Can the van come to Brighton Hill?
Yes, we do. Brighton Hill is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
