About party fish and chip van in Brighton and Hove

You don’t need to hire a hall: the van makes your home the party venue. Typical bookings include children’s parties and retirement parties, with pie and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips.

You don’t need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your party. The frying and serving are down to us.

  1. Send us the date, address, numbers and serving time.
  2. We check where the van can park and send a price.
  3. On the day, we park up and get the fryers going.
  4. We serve hot from the hatch while the party carries on.
  5. We pack up when we are done and leave the pitch tidy.

Pricing in Brighton and Hove

The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.

Landmarks near Brighton

Around Brighton, we take the van to homes and venues near Fairlight Primary School, St Martin's Church and Park Crescent pub and the streets around them. You will also find Brighton Hove and Sussex Sixth Form College (0.9 miles west), Academy of Creative Training (0.9 miles south) and William Clarke Park (less than half a mile east). There is a railway station in Brighton itself: London Road (Brighton) station, handy for guests travelling by train. Other landmarks nearby include Brighton General Hospital (0.7 miles east) and Old Police Cells Museum (1 mile south-west). Green spaces within easy reach include Newmarket Hill and Whitehawk Hill.

Party venues across Brighton and Hove

Parties across Brighton and Hove are mostly at home, in halls and at clubs, from Brighton, Hove and Carlton Hill to small villages. The van works at all of them. 30 of the places we cover in Brighton and Hove are within about 6 miles of the sea, so we frequently plan a sheltered side for the queue.

Brighton: If you had William Clarke Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: vans can’t simply park up and serve in a public park. If the day starts at St Martin's Church, the van can be ready at the house when everyone arrives. Sunset in Brighton is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.

For event organisers in Brighton and Hove

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

Having the party at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will let you know if the van will fit.

Allergies and dietary needs

Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:

  • Flag any coeliac guests
  • Ask guests about allergies when they reply
  • Show us where the van would go
  • Send allergies to us in writing

When everyone has eaten, we pack up and leave the drive tidy.

Plan cover in case of showers.

About the food

Sausage and chips

A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.

Haddock and chips

Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.

Prices and what affects them

There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:

  • How long we serve
  • Parking and the way in
  • The day of the week
  • Distance and any road charges

The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.

Details that help

Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:

  • Where the van would park
  • Expected numbers
  • How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
  • The venue or postcode

Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, use our quote form.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.

Common questions in Brighton and Hove

Can you cook in the rain?

We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.

Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.

Can you come to a street party?

Yes, where the council allows it. Start the road closure application early.

Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.

Which areas do you serve?

London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Brighton and Hove.

What do we need to supply?

Weekends from May to September are busiest, so it pays to ask early.
