DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Where the van can park in North Brixton
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A spot near your guests
- Access wide and high enough for the van
As a London location, North Brixton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

A chip van compared with other options
A cold buffet is simple, but food sits out, and there’s nothing warming on a chilly day. A chip van cooks to order and serves hot. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.
Why North Brixton hosts choose us
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Everything cooked to order at your event

Planning a chip van in North Brixton
North Brixton is about 2 miles south-west of London, in Greater London. People in North Brixton book us for all sorts of reasons, but the plan is always the same: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. North Brixton is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover.
Churches such as St Michael's Church rarely have room for a van, but a hall or home close by normally does. Thinking of using Max Roach Park? Parks normally need the owner’s permission, often the council’s, before a catering van can park or trade.
Anywhere in SW9, SW8 and SE5, we can fry fresh for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Streets in the area include Lett Road, Lorn Road and Oak Square, and the van can serve an event on any of them with a suitable parking spot. With the A203 close by, North Brixton is simple for us to get to with the van. Nearby, we also serve events in Angell Town (1 mile south), Little Portugal (1 mile west), Stockwell (1 mile south-west), South Lambeth (1 mile north-west) and Kennington (1 mile north-west). We also serve nearby towns such as City of Westminster (3 miles north-west), Marylebone (3 miles north-west), Kensington (4 miles north-west), St Pancras (4 miles north), Shoreditch (4 miles north-east) and Walthamstow (9 miles north-east).

- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Put bins and napkins by the van
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
- Send allergies to us in writing
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive in good time, set up, cook and serve, and keep in touch with you about timings.

FAQs for North Brixton
Could you trade in Max Roach Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first.
We are gathering after a service at St Michael's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can the van come to North Brixton?
Yes, we do. North Brixton is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Is it a full meal?
Yes. A portion of fish, chips and peas is a proper meal, and you can add your own cake or desserts.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
The process
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Guests usually gather round the hatch once service starts. Around midsummer it stays light in North Brixton until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
