Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Bexley Riverside
Can the van park in Braeburn Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you come to a school fair in Bexley Riverside?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
Do you trade at schools?
Yes, with the school’s permission for the van on site. Tell us the date and where the van would park.
What can visitors choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.

If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Space, access and the venue
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A clear route onto the pitch
- Confirmation the van can trade there
- Somewhere firm if it rains
As a London location, Bexley Riverside is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Burger vans are common at events. Fish and chips adds variety. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.
Why book with us
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
