Fish and chip van for events in Brunswick Park, fried fresh

Organisers can book us as a trader, or to feed crew and volunteers, or both. We serve cod and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips, and we are frequently booked for fish and chip supper nights and school summer fairs.

Street parties and school fairs in Brunswick Park are a great fit for a chip van, once the permissions are in place. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

What affects the price in Brunswick Park

Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:

  • Travel, tolls and road charges
  • How many people are eating
  • How long we serve
  • How easy the site is to reach

Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

What to tell us

You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:

  • Expected numbers
  • A picture of where the van would go
  • The date and when you’d like to eat
  • Allergies and diets you know about

Each quote is put together for your event. Give us your date first, and we will check availability straight away.

Looking after everyone

With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:

  • Share pitch details
  • Tell us expected visitor numbers
  • Offer a choice of traders where you can
  • Agree when volunteers will eat

Bins near the van help keep the site tidy.

Plan vehicle access before visitors arrive.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Brunswick Park

Do you trade at school fairs around Brunswick Park?

Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.

Can the van park in Friary Park?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.

Can you cater for allergies?

We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.

Can you trade at our fête or festival?

Frequently, yes. Get in touch with the details.

What do you need on the pitch?

A firm pitch with space for a queue. Tell us about power and water.

How soon do we need to book?

As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.

Do you clear up afterwards?

We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for visitors.

Do you fry it on site?

Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.

A fish and chip van or other catering?

At larger events, a van adds to the mix. 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.

What you get with us

  • We cover Brunswick Park and the whole of Greater London
  • A van that becomes part of the event
  • Fried fresh, not kept warm
  • No surprises in your quote

Space, access and the venue

We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:

  • Space for a queue away from paths
  • Somewhere firm if it rains
  • Firm, level ground for the pitch

As a London location, Brunswick Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
