Which station is closest to West Wickham?
West Wickham has its own station: West Wickham station.
Is parking a problem for the van in West Wickham?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
What does the pitch need?
A firm pitch with space for a queue. Tell us about power and water.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.

Yes, where the date suits. Send us the date, location and expected numbers.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Greater London. Find your area.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.

What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
For planners, venues and organisers
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Most events have a burger van. Fish and chips adds variety. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.
Why book our van in West Wickham
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- Hot food handed straight over
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
Take a look at our pricing or the cost guide.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Set a time for helpers’ food
- Plan something for visitors we can’t cater for
- Tell us about any school or event allergy policies
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
Bins near the van help keep the site tidy.
A clear route for the van before the gates open avoids problems.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Numbers
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The length of service
- The date and time of year
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your event is.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The date and when you’d like to eat
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
The process
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Summer fêtes in West Wickham have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:20pm at midsummer, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:05pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Let us know the serving time
- Plan where the queue will stand

Running an event in West Wickham
West Wickham is about 2 miles south of Beckenham, in Greater London. Across the BR4 area, we can bring the van to you. We serve 764 places across Greater London. Our bookings stretch from West Wickham to London (about 9 miles away).
PTAs at schools such as Oak Lodge Primary School frequently want one reliable hot-food stall. Events in parks such as Millers Pond need permission from the council or landowner, and the van needs a firm route onto the pitch.
This part of Greater London takes in BR4, CR0 and BR3, so your event can be anywhere in it. Streets in the area include Ash Road, Kent Road and Oak Avenue, and the van can serve an event on any of them with a suitable parking spot. Close by, we cover events in Coney Hall (1 mile south), Spring Park (1 mile west), Eden Park (1 mile north), Hayes (1 mile east) and Addington (1 mile south).

Where the van can park in West Wickham
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
As a London location, West Wickham is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
