A chip van near Bromley
Fish and chip van for events in Bromley, cooked to order
Fêtes, school fairs, festivals and shows all suit a chip van, from small community events to bigger crowds. Popular choices include sausage and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas, and we’re frequently booked for charity fundraisers and community events and music and food festivals.
Events in Bromley range from street parties and school fairs to markets and festivals. Public spaces normally need council permission, and we need a pitch the van can reach. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Step by step
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. Summer events in Bromley have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the 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
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Have a level parking spot ready

What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger visitors and fish-dodgers.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- What’s available on the pitch
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
- A clear route onto the pitch
As a London location, Bromley is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Bromley
Do you trade at school fairs around Bromley?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Could you trade in Church House Gardens?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What does the pitch need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, and room for a queue. Mention any power or water.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
