Brooks Green questions
Is Brooks Green close to London?
Roughly 36 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Brooks Green?
Billingshurst station, about 2.6 miles west of the centre.
Can we choose cod or haddock?
Tell us your preference when you book and we will confirm the menu.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before booking.
Is a chip van good for a large crowd?
It can be. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will tell you honestly how service will work.
What happens when we hire the van?
The van comes to you, fry everything to order, and serve at the time you want.
How it works
You will know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first guests wander across. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. Around midsummer it stays light in Brooks Green until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Clear the route for the van
- Plan where the queue will stand

Next to a hog roast, a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies rather than one dish, which suits guests who don’t eat pork. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
