Fish and Chip Van Hire for Festivals & Village Fetes in Sussex

The crowd-pleasing catering choice for community events, village fairs, and festivals across East & West Sussex.

Bringing Fish & Chips to Sussex Villages & Festivals

Nothing brings a community together quite like a village fete — and nothing goes better at a village fete than freshly cooked fish and chips. Alfresco has been serving at festivals, village fairs, school fetes, and community events across Sussex for over 25 years. Our mobile van is completely self-sufficient, needing no external power or water, which makes it perfect for village greens, pub car parks, school fields, and open-air festival sites.

Whether you are organising a small parish event for 50 people or a large summer festival for hundreds, our experienced team serves efficiently without long queues — and every portion is cooked fresh to order.
