Planners, venues and businesses
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.

FAQs for Chislehurst
Is parking a problem for the van in Chislehurst?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
Can the van park in Chislehurst Common?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you come to our office Christmas party?
Yes, if there is a suitable spot for the van and the site allows it.
Can the van come to Chislehurst?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Chislehurst and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes. Tell us the date and pitch.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
When should we book for December?
Ideally in the summer or early autumn, especially for a Friday.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Christmas parties in Chislehurst: local tips
Chislehurst is about 3 miles north-west of Orpington, in Greater London. People in Chislehurst book us for all sorts of reasons, but it always starts the same way: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. We take the van to 764 places across Greater London. We serve events right across the region, from Chislehurst to London (about 9 miles away).
If a church like Parish Church The Annunciation Of Blessed Virgin Mary is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening. The A208 and B264 make Chislehurst easy to reach on a dark winter evening. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 8 miles of Chislehurst, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route.
Anywhere in BR7, BR1, BR2 and SE9, we can bring the van to you. Your Christmas party could be at a house on Chislehurst High Street, Sanderson Square and Wilderness Road or the roads around them, wherever the van can park. You’ll find Chislehurst on the A208 and B264, which makes the journey straightforward.

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and children love it.
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. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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.
The process
You’ll know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. An afternoon Christmas party in Chislehurst can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 3:55pm, so put the van where there is good light.
- Tell us what you’re 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.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Tell us when you want to eat

How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- The minimum booking
- Parking and the way in
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The number of meals
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.
