Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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 you get to enjoy the day.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
For event organisers in Broad Green
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Broad Green: your questions answered
Do you trade at school fairs around Broad Green?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Is parking a problem for the van in Broad Green?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Do you cover Broad Green?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Broad Green. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Do you pay a pitch fee?
Tell us how your event normally works with traders, and we’ll agree terms.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

Running an event in Broad Green
Broad Green is about 6 miles south of Stockwell, in Greater London. From the centre of Broad Green to the outskirts, the service works the same way: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. Broad Green is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover. Our bookings stretch from Broad Green to London (8 miles away).
Events in parks such as Waddon Ponds need permission from the council or landowner, and the van needs a firm route onto the pitch. If visitors are coming by train, West Croydon station, about 0.6 miles south, is the nearest station.
We take the van to events all over the CR0, CR7 and CR90 postcode area and the streets around it. Local streets include York Road, Nova Road and Lion Road; an event on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. For events just outside Broad Green, we cover Old Town (1 mile south), Beddington (2 miles south-west), Waddon (2 miles south), Bandonhill (2 miles south-west) and Wallington (2 miles south-west). We also serve nearby towns such as London (8 miles north), City of Westminster (9 miles north), Marylebone (9 miles north), Kensington (9 miles north-west), St Pancras (10 miles north) and Shoreditch (10 miles north).
Other landmarks nearby include County Borough of Croydon (1.1 miles south) and Centrale Croydon (0.8 miles south). Green spaces nearby include Duppas Hill and Biggin Wood.
- Nearby schools include Harris Invictus Academy Croydon (0.5 miles south) and The Archbishop Lanfranc School (1.1 miles west)
- Pubs nearby include The Half Moon pub (within half a mile south-west)
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
At larger events, a van adds to the mix and spreads the queues. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. December events in Broad Green lose the light at about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; spring events have light until about 8:50pm by late May.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Let us know the serving time
How to get a price
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.
