FAQs for Bexleyheath
Can the van park in Danson Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first.
Is parking a problem for the van in Bexleyheath?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
Can you trade at our fête or festival?
Tell us the date and pitch details and we will check.
Do you trade at schools?
Yes, with the school’s permission for the van on site. Send us the date and the spot.
Do you pay a pitch fee?
We will talk it through when you send the details, and we’ll agree terms.

About the food
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
A chip van compared with other options
Most events have a burger van. A chip van gives visitors something different. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

Should I sort the food myself?
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 usually simpler.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A clear route onto the pitch
- What’s available on the pitch
- Confirmation the van can trade there
Bexleyheath is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Agree who removes waste
- Share any nut or allergy policies
- Tell us about the pitch
- Set a time for helpers’ food
When the event closes, we pack up.
A sign at the entrance tells visitors hot food is available.
