Space, access and the venue
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A route in without tight gates
- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
- A lit spot for evening service
Bexleyheath is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
What we serve

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.
What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch when you are ready to eat. With darkness by about 3:50pm in December, winter van visits in Bexleyheath suit lunchtime.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Can the van park in Danson Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
