Party fish and chip van for your party in Bopeep

You do not need to hire a hall: the van makes your home the party venue. Typical bookings include milestone birthdays and retirement celebrations, serving curry sauce, cod and chips and mushy peas.

Most parties in Bopeep are at home, and in London that normally means a drive or street parking. If you have a drive, the van can often go there; if not, check the street’s parking rules. A picture helps. Everything is fried fresh at your party, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Bopeep

What’s the nearest station to Bopeep?

Knockholt station, about 0.6 miles south-west of the centre.

What about parking in Bopeep?

It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.

Do you need power or water from us?

Tell us what’s available at the address when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.

How much space do you need?

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

Do you do street parties?

Yes, where the council allows it. Start the road closure application early.

Can you serve children?

Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.

Does the batter contain gluten?

No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before you book.

Do you clear up afterwards?

We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.

Planning the van’s spot

Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:

  • Lighting nearby for evening events
  • A clear area by the serving hatch
  • A level, firm spot the van can drive onto

Bopeep is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Bopeep?

A takeaway order for a party takes ages and arrives lukewarm. A van fries on the spot. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.

Why book our van in Bopeep

  • Classic food your guests already know
  • Bookings across Greater London, including Bopeep
  • The queue at the hatch gets people talking
  • A quote that spells everything out

See our prices page and the cost guide.

How it works

We arrive on time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. Autumn and winter parties in Bopeep get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so think about lighting by the van.

  1. We start with a few details about your party.
  2. We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
  3. Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
  4. On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
  5. Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

Getting ready for the day

  • Choose a level, firm spot for the van
  • Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
  • Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Parties in Bopeep: homes, halls and local tips

Bopeep is about 3 miles south-east of Orpington, in Greater London. Anywhere in BR6, we can bring the van to you. Bopeep is one of 764 places in Greater London where we bring the van. Our nearest city page is London, about 14 miles away.

If you had Hewitt's Chalk Bank in mind, ask the council or landowner first: vans can’t simply park up and serve in a public park. After a christening at a church like Mission Chapel, a chip van at home is an easy way to feed family and friends. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 3 miles of Bopeep, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.

Wherever your party is in BR6, we can bring the van to you. From Shoreham Lane and Hewitts Road or anywhere nearby, we can park up and fry there. For parties just outside Bopeep, we cover Maypole (1 mile north), Well Hill (1 mile north-east), Chelsfield (1 mile north-west), Badgers Mount (1 mile south) and Pratt's Bottom (1 mile south-west). Further out, we also take the van to London (14 miles north-west), Shoreditch (15 miles north-west), Whitechapel (15 miles north-west), Stockwell (14 miles north-west), Orpington (3 miles north-west) and Plaistow (13 miles north-west).

Other landmarks nearby include London Borough of Bromley Museum (2.4 miles north-west) and Lullingstone Castle (2.5 miles east). Green spaces nearby include The Warren.

  • Local schools include St Olave's and St Saviour's Grammar School (1.9 miles north-west)
  • Local pubs include The Bo-Peep pub (under half a mile north-west)

Diets, allergies and planning

Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:

  • Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
  • Give us separate numbers for children
  • Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
  • Have a back-up for special diets

Keep the queue away from the road if the van is on the drive.

Your own cake makes the perfect finish.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Perfect for your party in Bopeep

People book a chip van for parties because nobody has to cook. And it’s fun.

If you are planning any of these, we can help:

  • Big birthdays
  • Garden get-togethers
  • Retirement celebrations
  • Kids’ birthday parties

If guests are coming by rail, the nearest station is Knockholt station, about 0.6 miles south-west.

What your quote should include

  • Allergen information for each item
  • The van’s size and access needs
  • Exactly what’s included in the price
  • The service time, and the cost of running over

How to compare vans

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
