Brunswick Park: your questions answered

Can you serve after a service at Oakleigh Community Church?

Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.

Can the van park in Friary Park?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first.

Do you bring everything you need?

All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.

How much space do you need?

Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.

How quickly can you serve everyone?

That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.

Can you feed a lot of people?

That depends on how many and how quickly. A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving.

Do you do anything other than fish?

There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.

Do you come to Brunswick Park?

Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Brunswick Park is within our area and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, use our quote form.

What a fish and chip van costs

These are the factors that matter most:

  • Any minimum charge
  • Distance and any road charges
  • Numbers
  • How easy the site is to reach

If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.

Details that help

You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:

  • Anything awkward about the way in
  • A photo of the space and the way in
  • Where you’d like the van to go
  • Dietary needs, with numbers

It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll come back with a clear quote.

For event organisers in Brunswick Park

For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

Hosting at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.

Space, access and the venue

Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:

  • Light near the van and the queue for evening service
  • A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
  • Space for people to queue at the hatch

Brunswick Park is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Ordering a takeaway for a crowd means long waits and food that cools on the journey. A van fries on the spot, so the batter is still crisp. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your event is.

What you get with us

  • Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
  • Nothing for you to cook or clear
  • Everything cooked to order at your event
  • A menu almost everyone likes

What comes out of the fryer

Sausage and chips

Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.

Mushy peas

Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.

Allergies and dietary needs

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:

  • Put allergy details in writing
  • Tell us how many children are coming
  • Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
  • Arrange an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for

Fish and chips is best eaten right away, so we cook as people come up to the hatch.

Tell people when the van opens, so they don’t miss out.

Step by step

Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. In Brunswick Park, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.

  1. We start with a few details about your event.
  2. We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
  3. We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
  4. We cook to order on the day for your guests.
  5. Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

Preparing for the day

  • Clear the route for the van
  • Name one person we can call on the day
  • Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
