The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order.
Step by step
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Autumn and winter parties in Peacehaven get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so think about lighting by the van.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

It depends on the drive and the access. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we’ll advise.

Hosting a chip van party in Peacehaven
Peacehaven is about 5 miles west of Seaford, in East Sussex. We park up at drives, car parks, yards and venues around Peacehaven and the surrounding area. Peacehaven is one of 289 places in East Sussex we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Peacehaven to Brighton (6 miles away).
For guests coming by train, the nearest station is Newhaven Town station, about 2.1 miles east. A christening at Ascension Church followed by fish and chips on the drive is a simple, popular plan. Peacehaven is within about 6 miles of the South Downs National Park, so many gardens around here have a great outlook. The coast is within about 5 miles, so a chip van is a natural choice, and we always plan for wind.
This part of East Sussex takes in BN10 and BN9. Local streets include Starling Drive, Bramber Close and Greenfinch Road; a party on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park.

Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
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.
