It feels like a treat, but stays relaxed: fish and chips from the van, eaten in the garden. We serve sausage and chips, curry sauce and gravy, and we’re regularly asked to cater family parties with children and street parties.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Moulsecoomb
Can the van park in Wild Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first.
Can you serve near the sea around Moulsecoomb?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Will the van fit on our drive?
It depends on the drive and the access. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we’ll advise.
Is there a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you come to Moulsecoomb?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Moulsecoomb and the rest of Brighton and Hove. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A venue plus caterer can be expensive. A van on the drive keeps it simple. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.

What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The day of the week
- How long we serve
- Cod, haddock or both
- Whether a minimum applies
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your party.

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
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.

Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
