Christmas party fish and chips in Kidbrooke
What the van needs
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
As a London location, Kidbrooke is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

Questions from Kidbrooke
What’s the nearest station to Kidbrooke?
The closest is Kidbrooke station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
What about parking in Kidbrooke?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
What happens on the day
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. Plan your Christmas party in Kidbrooke around the dark: the light goes at about 3:55pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
Getting a price
Each quote is put together for your Christmas party. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
