Leaves Green events: pitches and permissions
Leaves Green is about 4 miles south of Bromley, in Greater London. Whether your event is in the middle of Leaves Green or on the outskirts, the service works the same way: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. Leaves Green is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover. Our bookings stretch from Leaves Green to London (about 12 miles away).
School fairs, for a school like Meridian High School, are a natural fit for a fish and chip van. For visitors coming by rail, Hayes (Kent) station, about 2.8 miles north, is the nearest station. Events in and around the Kent Downs National Landscape, within about 7 miles of Leaves Green, frequently have rules about vehicles, ground and waste; we work to the site rules.
Wherever your event is in BR2, we can fry fresh for your visitors, from busy streets to quiet lanes. From Ashmore Lane and Main Road or anywhere nearby, we can park up and fry there. If your venue is just outside Leaves Green, we also cover Farthing Street (1 mile north-east), Downe (1 mile east), Nash (1 mile north-west), Luxted (1 mile south-east) and Keston (2 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover London (12 miles north-west), City of Westminster (15 miles north-west), Marylebone (15 miles north-west), Kensington (15 miles north-west), St Pancras (14 miles north-west) and Shoreditch (14 miles north).
Nearby you will also find Bethlem Museum of the Mind (3 miles north) and Princess Royal University Hospital (2.2 miles north-east). Open spaces near Leaves Green include Nore Hill and West Kent Golf Course nature reserve.
- Local pubs include The Kings Arms (less than half a mile south)
What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
- Access that avoids crowds
Leaves Green is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
How we price a fish and chip van for your event
We’ll give you a clear quote. What affects it most:

- Whether a minimum applies
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Roughly how many people, including children

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

What else we do in Leaves Green
Leaves Green: your questions answered
Can you come to a school fair in Leaves Green?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Can the van park in South Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac visitors and we’ll explain the options.
Do you do crew food?
Yes, at a time that suits your schedule.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
