Fish and chip van for events in Kidbrooke
Running an event in Kidbrooke
Kidbrooke is about 2 miles north of Eltham, in Greater London. Kidbrooke is well within our area, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. Kidbrooke is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we bring the van. Our bookings stretch from Kidbrooke to London (about 6 miles away).
School fairs, for a school like Henwick Primary School, are a natural fit for a fish and chip van. For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as St Barnabas, a chip van adds hot food to the cakes and tombola.
Anywhere in SE3, SE9 and SE18, we can fry fresh for your visitors, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Your event could be at a house on Brome Road, Briset Road and Nesbit Road or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere for the van. Other places close to Kidbrooke we cover include Well Hall (1 mile south-east), Shooter's Hill (1 mile east), Middle Park (1 mile south), Horn Park (1 mile south-west) and Blackheath (1 mile west). We also serve nearby towns such as London (6 miles west), City of Westminster (9 miles west), Marylebone (9 miles north-west), Kensington (11 miles west), St Pancras (8 miles north-west) and Shoreditch (7 miles north-west).
Nearby you will also find Brook General Hospital (0.5 miles north-east) and Lewisham Shopping Centre (2.4 miles west). The countryside around Kidbrooke includes Birdbrook Road Nature Reserve and Summer Hill.
- Nearby schools include The Halley Academy (within half a mile north) and Thomas Tallis School (0.7 miles west)

Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Agree the terms in writing
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
Bins near the van help keep the site tidy.
A sign at the entrance tells visitors hot food is available.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
Kidbrooke questions
Is parking a problem for the van in Kidbrooke?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
Could you trade in Eltham Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Do you come to Kidbrooke?
We do. We serve events in Kidbrooke and across Greater London. Send us your date to check availability.
How do you charge at fêtes?
That varies: a pitch fee, a share of takings or a guaranteed minimum. We’ll agree terms before the day.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What can visitors choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
What happens on the day
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. At midsummer, events in Kidbrooke stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Clear the route for the van

Why choose fish and chip van for events in Kidbrooke?
A chip van is reliably one of the busiest pitches at any fête.
The van suits big events and small ones. Typical bookings include:
- Sports days
- Fundraisers
- Community festivals
- Sports club events and race days
Events in parks such as Eltham Common need permission from the council or landowner, and the van needs a firm route onto the pitch.
Questions to ask before you book
- The cancellation terms
- VAT, if it applies
- When final numbers are due
- How much space the van takes up
Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
