Fresh fish and chips in Brixton
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Party fish and chip van for your party in Brixton
For children, there’s sausage and chips, so nobody needs a separate meal. We are often asked to cater street parties and neighbourhood events and summer garden parties, serving gravy, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
Most parties in Brixton are at home, and in London that normally means a drive or street parking. A drive is ideal; otherwise, check what’s allowed on the street. A picture helps. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Brixton: your questions answered
Could you trade in Max Roach Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you serve after a service at Trinity Congregational Church?
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 generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Is grass a problem?
Often, 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 cover Brixton?
We do. Brixton is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Access wide and high enough for the van
As a London location, Brixton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

How the day works
You don’t need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your party. We handle the cooking and serving. For a late-May party in Brixton, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. After dark, light the area around the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

It is worth telling the neighbours.
