How our fish and chip van for events works in Bromley
When there is hot food, people stay longer. Whether it’s school fairs and sports days and fish and chip supper nights, we will put together a menu of curry sauce, haddock and chips and cod and chips and more.
In Bromley, a chip van suits school fairs and street parties, once the permissions are in place. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Parking and the way in
- Your choice of menu
- Numbers
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.

To speed things up, tell us:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Expected numbers
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we will check availability right away.

A chip van compared with other options
At a small fête, one good trader may be all you need. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your event.
Why Bromley hosts choose us
- Something for visitors to gather round
- Events in Bromley and across Greater London
- No kitchen needed
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

Bromley: your questions answered
Could you trade in Bob's Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first.
Can you come to a school fair in Bromley?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Do you pay a pitch fee?
We will talk it through when you send the details, and we’ll agree terms.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can you come to a school event?
Yes, with the school’s permission for the van on site. Send us the date and the spot.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
How the day works
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Visitors generally gather round the hatch as soon as we open. Winter fairs in Bromley are dark by about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there is light until about 8:50pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Clear the route for the van
How to get a price
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can send us your details through our quote form.

Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Agree how we will be paid: pitch fee, share of takings or minimum
- Have other stalls for special diets
- Arrange bins and waste collection
- Share last year’s numbers if you have them
If we are feeding volunteers, agree a time that suits the schedule.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.
Working with your venue
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
