How our fish and chip van for events works in Brockley
A van suits shows and field events, as long as there’s a firm route onto the pitch. Typical bookings include feeding event crew and community open days, serving haddock and chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce.
In Brockley, street events mean planning closures and access. Send us the pitch and timings. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Common questions in Brockley
Do you trade at school fairs around Brockley?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can the van park in Blythe Hill Fields?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your visitors, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
What are the terms for events?
It depends on the event: a pitch fee, a share of takings or a guaranteed minimum. We will agree terms before the day.
How much does a fish and chip van for your event cost in Brockley?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Agree who removes waste
- Tell us about the pitch
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
Bins near the van help keep the site tidy.
A few benches near the van help.
Running an event in Brockley
Brockley is about 1 mile south of New Cross, in Greater London. Whether your event is in the middle of Brockley or on the outskirts, the service works the same way: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. Brockley is one of 764 places in Greater London where we bring the van.
If visitors are coming by train, Brockley has its own station, Crofton Park station. A school like Beecroft Garden Primary can book the van for a fair, fun run or sports day.
Wherever your event is in SE4, SE23 and SE6, we can fry fresh for your visitors, from busy streets to quiet lanes. We can serve an event on streets such as Ivy Road, Nash Road and Lindal Road, wherever the van can park. Close by, we cover events in Crofton Park (1 mile south-east), Honor Oak (1 mile west), Ladywell (1 mile east), Forest Hill (1 mile south-west) and Nunhead (1 mile north-west). Further out, we also take the van to London (4 miles north-west), City of Westminster (7 miles north-west), Marylebone (7 miles north-west), Kensington (8 miles north-west), St Pancras (6 miles north-west) and Shoreditch (5 miles north).

Step by step
Changes on the day are fine: we will adjust start times and pace to suit your event. Summer events in Brockley have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
At larger events, a van adds to the mix. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Hot food handed straight over
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Something for visitors to gather round
Read our prices page and our guide to van hire costs.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Planning the van’s spot
