Chinbrook questions
Can the van park in Chinbrook Meadows?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do you trade at school fairs around Chinbrook?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
How big a pitch do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, and room for a queue. Mention any power or water.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can the van come to Chinbrook?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Chinbrook and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Where the van can park in Chinbrook
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
- Confirmation the van can trade there
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
As a London location, Chinbrook is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
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, timed around your event. Winter fairs in Chinbrook are dark by about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; spring events have light until about 8:50pm by late May.

- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Get permission for the van from the venue
