How our party fish and chip van works in Brede
With a chip van, the host gets to enjoy the party too. We park up, fry to order and hand it over hot. For family celebrations after a christening and garden parties and summer get-togethers, we can cook curry sauce, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
Near Brede, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

Party venues around Brede
Brede is about 5 miles north of Hastings, in East Sussex. We take a fish and chip van for your party to homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Brede and the surrounding area. We serve all 289 towns and villages in East Sussex. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 32 miles away.
Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as The Parish Church of St George, with fish and chips at home or in a hall afterwards. Nearby historic houses include Durhamford Manor (3.3 miles west) and Great Dixter (4.4 miles north). Grand settings like these frequently have strict rules on vehicles and caterers, so for most parties a home or hired hall is simpler. The coast is within about 6 miles, so a chip van is a natural choice.

What affects the price in Brede
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Your choice of menu
- How many people are eating
- Service time
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

To check availability and price, we need:
- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and time of the event
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The address or venue name
Not sure of numbers yet? That’s fine: tell us the basics about your party, and we will quote on that. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
What happens on the day
You’ll know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. Autumn and winter parties in Brede get dark early: about 7:00pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so think about lighting by the van.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check where the van can park and send a price.
- On the day, we park up and get the fryers going.
- Guests come up to the hatch and we fry to order.

Planning help
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Give us separate numbers for children

With children, food about an hour in works well, before the cake.
Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.
Questions from Brede
Which station is closest to Brede?
Doleham station, about 1.2 miles south-east of the centre.
Is Brede too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How early do summer dates go?
Weekends from May to September are busiest, so it pays to ask early.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Do you need power or water from us?
Let us know about power and water at the house, and we will say what we need.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
Will the van fit on our drive?
It depends on the drive and the access. Mention anything tight, and we’ll tell you honestly.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

Curry sauce
