Fish and chip van for events in Bickley, fried fresh
The van is self-sufficient on the pitch, so we need little help from busy volunteers. For charity fundraisers and community events and sports club events and race days, we can cook chips, curry sauce and mushy peas for your guests.
In Bickley, a chip van suits school fairs and street parties, once the permissions are in place. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before you book.

What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Before you choose a spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that does not block walkways
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
- Access that avoids crowds
As a London location, Bickley is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Plan where the queue forms, especially near rides and games.
Let visitors know there is a chip van.
What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The minimum booking
- Parking and the way in
- The length of service
- How many people are eating
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- A picture of the parking spot
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Where the van would park
- Rough numbers for adults and children
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, use our quote form.
