Fish and chip van hire in Bromley, fried fresh
The menu is short and classic: fish and chips, sausages and pies, plus the sides everyone expects. A short menu keeps the food fresh and the queue moving. For fish and chip days at care homes and weddings and evening receptions, we can cook sausage and chips, curry sauce and gravy for your guests.
Streets in Bromley are often tight, which makes off-street parking, such as a drive, a school playground or a car park, the easiest option. Tell us what you have. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

How it works
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. By late September, sunset in Bromley is around 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the queue.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

- Send allergies to us in writing

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
A cold buffet is simple, but food sits out, and nothing’s hot on a cool evening. A chip van cooks to order and serves hot. Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why us?
- All the chip-shop extras
- No kitchen needed
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
