What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.

Common questions in Bromley Common
What’s the nearest station to Bromley Common?
Bickley station, about 1.2 miles north of the centre.
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Takeaway run or book a 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.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
