What happens on the day
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. Midsummer parties in West Blatchington stay bright until about 9:20pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you’re eating late.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll 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.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Plan where the queue will stand

West Blatchington parties: what to know
West Blatchington is about 1 mile north-east of Brighton and Hove, in Brighton and Hove. We take a fish and chip van for your party to drives, car parks, yards and venues around West Blatchington. West Blatchington is one of 30 places in Brighton and Hove we cover.
After a christening at a church like St Peter's Church, a chip van at home is an easy way to feed family and friends. If you had Hove Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: vans can’t simply park up and serve in a public park. The South Downs National Park is within about 6 miles of West Blatchington, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop. The coast is within about 3 miles, so a chip van is a natural choice.
We serve parties across BN3. From Frant Road, Nevill Road and Nevill Avenue or anywhere nearby, we’ll bring the van to you. Main roads around West Blatchington include the A2038, which makes travel to your party easy. For parties just outside West Blatchington, we cover Brighton and Hove (1 mile south-west), Hove (1 mile south), Aldrington (1 mile south-west), Westdene (1 mile north-east) and Withdean (1 mile east). We also serve nearby towns such as Carlton Hill (3 miles south-east), Hanover (3 miles south-east), Kemptown (3 miles south-east), Whitehawk (4 miles south-east), Moulsecoomb (3 miles east) and Bevendean (3 miles east).
A little further out are Churchill Square (2.2 miles south-east) and Clayton Castle (4.6 miles north). Within reach you’ll find Thundersbarrow Hill and Ladies Mile.

Questions from West Blatchington
Can you serve after a service at St Peter's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Could you trade in Hove Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
How much does a fish and chip van for your party cost in West Blatchington?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Can the van come to West Blatchington?
Yes, we do. We serve events in West Blatchington and across Brighton and Hove. Send us your date to check availability.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can the van park on my drive?
That depends on the space and the route in. Mention anything tight, and we’ll advise.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
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.
The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Let your neighbours know
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Make sure the van can park legally
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
With children, food about an hour in works well.
A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.
