Fish and chip van hire for your event in Broom Hill
Fish and chips is generous food: big pieces of fish, crisp batter and a mountain of chips. It turns a meal into an occasion. Whether it’s Fêtes, fairs and school events and milestone birthday parties, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips and more.
London streets around Broom Hill can be narrow and lined with parked cars, which makes off-street parking, such as a drive, a school playground or a car park, the easiest option. Tell us what you have. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Planning a chip van in Broom Hill
Broom Hill is about 1 mile south-west of Orpington, in Greater London. Anywhere in BR6, we can fry fresh for your guests. Broom Hill is one of 764 places in Greater London where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Broom Hill to London (about 12 miles away).
If you are gathering after a service at a church like Church of All Saints, a nearby hall car park or drive suits the van. A green space like Jubilee Country Park is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, normally the council’s. Broom Hill is within about 5 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, and some venues there have rules about vehicles on site. Check your venue’s rules on catering vans.

About the food
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and children love it.
What affects the price in Broom Hill
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Parking and the way in
- Numbers
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The menu and how many choices
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.
Details that help
These details help us quote quickly:
- The address or venue name
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
What happens on the day
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. Late September evenings in Broom Hill lose the light at about 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.

- 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.

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Broom Hill
Is parking a problem for the van in Broom Hill?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information.
Is fish and chips enough as a meal?
Fish and chips is a meal in itself. Many hosts add their own desserts or cake.
Can the van come to Broom Hill?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Broom Hill and across Greater London. Send us your date to check availability.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Have a back-up for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
After service, we pack up, leaving the pitch tidy.
A gazebo by the van keeps the queue dry.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a hog roast, a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies rather than one dish, which suits guests who don’t eat pork. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
