Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For a party that feels special but relaxed, a fish and chip van is a great choice in Brunswick. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Midsummer parties in Brunswick stay bright until about 9:15pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:05pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.

Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Brunswick: your questions answered
Could you trade in St. Ann's Well Gardens?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Can the van come to our street party?
Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Mention the van in your application.
How early do summer dates go?
Weekends from May to September are busiest, so it pays to ask early.
Is grass a problem?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Hosting a chip van party in Brunswick
Brunswick is about 1 mile south-west of Brighton, in Brighton and Hove. Wherever your party is in the BN1 area, we can bring the van to you. We cover 30 places in Brighton and Hove.
If you had St. Ann's Well Gardens in mind, ask the council or landowner first: vans cannot simply park up and serve in a public park. Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as St Stephen's Church, with fish and chips at home or in a hall afterwards. The South Downs National Park is within about 7 miles of Brunswick, so many gardens around here have a great outlook. The coast is within about a mile, so a chip van is a natural choice, and we always plan for wind.
We cover parties in every part of BN1, BN3 and BN50 and the streets around it. From Farm Road, York Road and Powis Road or a nearby road, we will bring the van to you. If your venue is just outside Brunswick, we also cover Seven Dials (1 mile north-east), West Hill (1 mile north-east), Prestonville (1 mile north), Hove (1 mile north-west) and Carlton Hill (1 mile east). Further out, we also take the van to Hangleton (3 miles north-west), Patcham (3 miles north), Hollingbury (3 miles north), Bevendean (3 miles north-east), Saltdean (5 miles east) and East Saltdean (6 miles east). As one of the bigger places in Brighton and Hove, Brunswick has plenty of venues, halls and workplaces.
A little further out are Old Police Cells Museum (0.7 miles south-east) and Churchill Square (within half a mile east). Green spaces nearby include Whitehawk Hill and Newmarket Hill.
- Schools near Brunswick include Brighton Girls (less than half a mile north-east) and The Drive Prep School (0.9 miles north-west)
- Local pubs include Maris & Otter pub (under half a mile west)
