Planning an event in Brockley?
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
How our fish and chip van hire works in Brockley
Hiring a fish and chip van brings the chip shop to your door. The van parks up, the fryers go on and everything is cooked to order, so every portion goes out hot and crisp. We serve haddock and chips, pie and chips and curry sauce, and we’re often booked for milestone birthday parties and wakes and gatherings after a funeral.
Streets in Brockley are often tight, so a drive, yard or car park is generally simplest. Tell us what you have. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Step by step
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. By late September, sunset in Brockley is around 7:05pm, and in December it is nearer 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the queue.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Tell us when you want to eat
