About our party fish and chip van in Brands Hill
It is a treat that feels special without being formal: fish and chips from the van, eaten in the garden. Whether it is neighbourhood get-togethers and family parties with children, we can cook cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas and more.
In a small place like Brands Hill, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll plan the route. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Questions from Brands Hill
Which station is closest to Brands Hill?
The closest is Sunnymeads station, roughly 1.1 miles away.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Michael: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Can the van come to Brands Hill?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Brands Hill. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
When should we book for a summer party?
Weekends from May to September are busiest, so it pays to ask early.
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 have a hard-surface back-up.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
