Fish and chip van hire for Broad Green events
Fish and chip van hire in Broad Green, cooked to order
The queue at the hatch is part of the fun. People chat, the smell drifts across, and the food arrives hot. Whether it’s summer garden parties and work Christmas parties, we can cook sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips for your guests.
Around Broad Green, most London bookings are at homes with a drive, workplaces with a car park, schools and halls. The thing to plan is where the van stops, so tell us about driveways, parking bays or a council suspension when you ask for a quote. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Working with your venue
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How far we travel
- Your choice of menu
- Parking and the way in
- The number of meals
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A picture of where the van would go
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, fill in our quote form.
How it works
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. In Broad Green, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the space for the van, then send a quote.
- On the day, we park on the agreed spot and set up.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, we clear up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Give us a contact for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
Ask for a quote
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.

Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
As a London location, Broad Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- A short menu helps everyone
- Count children separately
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
Keep the menu short and the queue moves quickly, especially when everyone wants to eat at once.
Tables or benches nearby help people eat comfortably.
Common questions in Broad Green
Is parking a problem for the van in Broad Green?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Saviour: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Can the van come to Broad Green?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Broad Green and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
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.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Planning a chip van in Broad Green
Broad Green is about 6 miles south of Stockwell, in Greater London. Tell us where your event in Broad Green will be, and we will plan the route and the parking spot before the day. We take the van to all 764 towns and villages across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is London, about 8 miles away.
Thinking of using Waddon Ponds? Parks typically need the owner’s permission, frequently the council’s, before a catering van can park or trade. PTAs at schools such as Elmwood Infant School frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days.
Anywhere in CR0, CR7 and CR90, we can fry fresh for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Streets in the area include York Road, Nova Road and Lion Road, and the van can serve an event on any of them with a suitable parking spot. Nearby, we also serve events in Old Town (1 mile south), Beddington (2 miles south-west), Waddon (2 miles south), Bandonhill (2 miles south-west) and Wallington (2 miles south-west). Within a short drive, we also cover London (8 miles north), City of Westminster (9 miles north), Marylebone (9 miles north), Kensington (9 miles north-west), St Pancras (10 miles north) and Shoreditch (10 miles north).
Other landmarks nearby include County Borough of Croydon (1.1 miles south) and Centrale Croydon (0.8 miles south). The countryside around Broad Green includes Duppas Hill and Biggin Wood.
- Nearby schools include Harris Invictus Academy Croydon (0.5 miles south) and The Archbishop Lanfranc School (1.1 miles west)
- Nearby, you’ll find The Half Moon pub (less than half a mile south-west)
The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
A chip van compared with other options
Cold buffets are easy but forgettable, and there is nothing warming on a chilly day. A chip van cooks to order and serves hot. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your event.
