FAQs for Denmark Hill
Is parking a problem for the van in Denmark Hill?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Can the van park in Brunswick Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Can the van come to Denmark Hill?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Denmark Hill. For a quote, use our quote form.
Can you feed visitors on set?
Yes, if they’re in your numbers. Tell us the day before.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your shoot and we’ll send a quote.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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 nobody has to miss the shoot.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Numbers
- Any minimum charge
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
What to tell us
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Where the event is
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Anything awkward about the way in
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- Lighting for early or late service
- Level, firm ground at base
- Clear of the shot and sound
As a London location, Denmark Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Planning a shoot in Denmark Hill
Denmark Hill is about 1 mile east of Stockwell, in Greater London. People in Denmark Hill book us for all sorts of reasons, but it always starts the same way: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. Denmark Hill is one of 764 places in Greater London where we bring the van.
Within reach of Denmark Hill are historic houses such as Kingswood House (2.6 miles south) and Benjamin Franklin House (3.1 miles north-west). Period locations like these generally keep vehicles well away from the house, so agree the base early.
Shoots anywhere in SE5, SE24 and SW9 start with a parking spot for the van and roughly how many crew. That could mean a shoot at a home on Wren Road, Grove Lane and Lowth Road or the roads around them, wherever the van can park. We also bring the van to shoots in Camberwell (1 mile north), East Dulwich (1 mile south-east), Herne Hill (1 mile south), Peckham (1 mile east) and Dulwich Village (1 mile south). We also serve nearby towns such as City of Westminster (4 miles north-west), Marylebone (4 miles north-west), Kensington (5 miles north-west), St Pancras (4 miles north), Shoreditch (4 miles north) and Walthamstow (9 miles north).
A little further out are Tower of London (2.9 miles north) and St Giles' Hospital (0.6 miles north-east). Green spaces nearby include Centre for Wildlife Gardening and Battersea Park Lake.
- Local schools include The Hospital and Home Tuition Sick Children's Service (less than half a mile west) and Sacred Heart Catholic School (0.6 miles north-west)
- Nearby, you’ll find The Phoenix pub (within half a mile north-east)
- Local facilities include Nunhead (1.6 miles east)
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Send the unit base address and directions
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Let us know about coeliac disease
We take our used oil and waste with us.
Plan bins at the unit base.
