FAQs for Brands Hill
What’s the nearest station to Brands Hill?
Sunnymeads station, about 1.1 miles south-west of the centre.
Can the van park in Arthur Jacob Nature Reserve?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
Do numbers include extras?
Yes, include them in numbers. Tell us the day before.
Can the van come to Brands Hill?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Brands Hill is within our area. For a quote, use our quote form.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
A wrap party at a venue costs more. A van makes a relaxed wrap. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Why us?
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- A quote that spells everything out
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy

- Any minimum charge
