A chip van compared with other options
Next to a DIY barbecue, a chip van means nobody is stuck at the grill. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your party.
Why us?
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Nothing for you to cook or clear

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Hangleton
Can you serve near the sea around Hangleton?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Can you come to a street party?
Frequently, yes. Start the road closure application early.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Do you come to Hangleton?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Hangleton and the rest of Brighton and Hove. To check your date, use our quote form.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
How far ahead should we book a party?
Summer weekends go first. Get in touch with your date.
How it works
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. Sunset in Hangleton is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Name one person we can call on the day

A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

Other occasions in Hangleton
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Occasions we serve in Hangleton
You do not need a venue: a drive or firm lawn is enough.
We can help if you’re planning any of the following:
- Reunions and family get-togethers
- Summer garden parties
- Milestone birthdays
- Street parties
Parks such as Benfield Hill typically need permission from the council or landowner for a catering van, so check first.
