Brooks Green questions
Is Brooks Green close to London?
Roughly 36 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Brooks Green too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Can you park at the unit base?
Usually, if there is level, firm ground. We’ll agree the spot with your location manager.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for crew are worth planning.
About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.
How it works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Sunset in Brooks Green is about 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; for early or late service, base needs lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Share the timings for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Name one person we can call on the day

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
