A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Where the van can park in Bopeep
We’ll be honest if a spot will not work, and help find another. What matters most:
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
- A clear route onto the pitch
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
Bopeep is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Step by step
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. Summer fêtes in Bopeep have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September the light goes at about 7:05pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
How to prepare
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
