Community events around Brompton
Brompton is about 1 mile south of City of Westminster, in Greater London. Whether your event is in the middle of Brompton or on the outskirts, the service works the same way: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. Brompton is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover.
For visitors coming by rail, the closest railway station is London Victoria station, roughly 0.8 miles east of the centre. Church fêtes, at churches such as Church of St Simon Zelotes, are a natural home for a chip van.

What happens on the day
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. For an evening event in Brompton, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Clear the route for the van
- Tell us when you want to eat

It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Planning help
Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Access that avoids crowds
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
- A queue area clear of rides and games
Brompton is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Popular choices
- Cod and chips
- Curry sauce
- Chips
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
