DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it is served. Planning an evening event in Bromley Common? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Before we arrive
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
Getting a price
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.

Bromley Common questions
Which station is closest to Bromley Common?
Bickley station, about 1.2 miles north of the centre.
Could you trade in Norman Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you feed plenty of people?
It depends on numbers and timings. Staggering groups and keeping the menu short both help.
Is there a non-fish option?
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.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How much does a fish and chip van cost in Bromley Common?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.
