DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.

What a fish and chip van costs
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- Service time
- The date and time of year
- Distance and any road charges

- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The address or venue name

Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and we will reply with a quote. Just fill in our quote form.

With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs

FAQs for Bromley
Can the van park in Bob's Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What about parking in Bromley?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Residents will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can residents with special diets join in?
Yes, with meals for texture-modified diets from the home’s own kitchen.
Do you do regular visits?
We are happy to talk about repeat visits.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
