Fresh fish and chips in Brownbread Street
Party fish and chip van in Brownbread Street, fried fresh
Birthdays, garden parties, anniversaries and christenings all suit a fish and chip van. Everyone from toddlers to grandparents knows what they’re getting. We’re frequently asked to cater kids’ birthday parties and reunions and family get-togethers, serving mushy peas, pie and chips and haddock and chips.
In a small place like Brownbread Street, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Working with your venue
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Brownbread Street questions
Could you trade in Ashburnham Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Brownbread Street?
The closest is Battle station, roughly 4.9 miles away.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
What do children eat?
Most children go for sausage and chips. Tell us how many children to expect.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
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. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Step by step
Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. For a late-May party in Brownbread Street, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:15pm. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
