Fish and chip van for events for Widmore events
What happens on the day
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we are hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. Summer fêtes in Widmore 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.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Have a level parking spot ready
Getting a price
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can fill in our quote form.

In Widmore, a chip van suits school fairs and street parties. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Fairs, fêtes and events in Widmore
Widmore is about 1 mile east of Bromley, in Greater London. We serve events at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Widmore and nearby villages. We cover all 764 towns and villages across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from Widmore to London (9 miles away).
Events in parks such as Jubilee Country Park need permission from the council or landowner, and the van needs a firm route onto the pitch. For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as Church of St George, a chip van adds hot food to the cakes and tombola. Events in and around the Kent Downs National Landscape, within about 8 miles of Widmore, often have rules about vehicles, ground and waste; we work to the site rules.
Wherever your event is in BR1, BR2 and BR7, we can bring the van to you. Whether your event is on Golf Road, The Avenue and Canon Road or anywhere nearby, we can park up and fry there. Nearby, we also serve events in Bickley (1 mile north), Elmstead (1 mile north), Chislehurst (1 mile north-east), Bromley (1 mile west) and Sundridge (1 mile north-west). Further out, we also take the van to London (9 miles north-west), City of Westminster (12 miles north-west), Marylebone (12 miles north-west), Kensington (13 miles north-west), St Pancras (11 miles north-west) and Shoreditch (10 miles north-west).
Nearby you’ll also find The Mall (1.3 miles west) and Municipal Borough of Bromley (1.3 miles west). Green spaces nearby include Summer Hill and The Tarn.
- Nearby schools include St George's (0.6 miles west) and Holy Trinity College Bromley (1.1 miles north-west)
- Local pubs include Bird In Hand Public House (under half a mile north-west)
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Share last year’s numbers if you have them
- Make sure allergen information is available
- Have other stalls for special diets
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
Mark out the queue area away from walkways, especially near rides and games.
Let visitors know there’s a chip van.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Widmore?
Cold food stalls are fine on a hot day, but hot food brings people in on cooler days. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.

For planners, venues and organisers
Having the party at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- What’s available on the pitch
- Confirmation the van can trade there
- Somewhere firm if it rains
As a London location, Widmore is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
Popular choices
- Chips
- Curry sauce

Widmore questions
Is parking a problem for the van in Widmore?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
Could you trade in Jubilee Country Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
How big a pitch do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, and room for a queue. Mention any power or water.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Can you cater for helpers?
Yes, alongside public trading or on its own.
What about visitors who don’t eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
How we price a fish and chip van for your event
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Cod, haddock or both
- The date and time of year
- How long we serve
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.

- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
