Fish and chip van for events in Foxbury, fried fresh
Food is fried to order, so it’s hot and crisp. Typical bookings include summer fairs and food for volunteers, with chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips.
In Foxbury, community events include street parties, school fairs and markets. Public spaces typically need council permission, and the van needs a pitch it can reach. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Questions from Foxbury
Which station is closest to Foxbury?
Sidcup station, about 1.2 miles north-east of the centre.
What about parking in Foxbury?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What are the terms for events?
We’ll talk it through when you send the details, and we will find something that works.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Do you do school fairs and sports days?
Yes. We’ll need a safe route onto the site away from children.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Next to a volunteer barbecue, a chip van frees your helpers. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your event is.

About the food
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Event catering near Foxbury
Foxbury is about 1 mile east of Chislehurst, in Greater London. Foxbury is well within our area, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. Foxbury is one of 764 places in Greater London where we bring the van. You can also see our page for London, about 10 miles away.
PTAs at schools such as Chislehurst School for Girls often want one reliable hot-food stall. Events in parks such as Chislehurst Common need permission from the council or landowner, and the van needs a firm route onto the pitch. Within about 8 miles is the Kent Downs National Landscape, where events may have extra rules on vehicles and waste; we work to the site rules.
For events in DA14, BR7 and DA15, we just need to know where the van can park. From Kemnal Road, Sydney Road and Carlton Road or a nearby road, we can park up and fry there. For events just outside Foxbury, we cover Longlands (1 mile north), Chislehurst (1 mile west), New Eltham (1 mile north-west), Elmstead (2 miles west) and Coldharbour (2 miles north-west). Within a short drive, we also cover London (10 miles north-west), City of Westminster (12 miles north-west), Marylebone (12 miles north-west), Kensington (14 miles north-west), St Pancras (12 miles north-west) and Shoreditch (10 miles north-west).

How it works
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. Summer fêtes in Foxbury have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September the light goes at about 7:05pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- 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.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Name one person we can call on the day
