What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A spot near your guests
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
As a London location, Brackenbury Village is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Distance and any road charges
- Access and parking

Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your wake.

Brackenbury Village: your questions answered
What about parking in Brackenbury Village?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
Can you serve after a service at Church of the Holy Innocents?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Do you come to Brackenbury Village?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Brackenbury Village and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, use our quote form.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
