Party fish and chip van in Broad Green, fried fresh
There’s no need for a venue: the van makes your home the party venue. Typical bookings include get-togethers with old friends and retirement parties, serving haddock and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips.
In Broad Green, a party at home is the usual choice, and parking is the question. A drive is ideal; otherwise, check what’s allowed on the street. A picture helps. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

About the food
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Broad Green: your questions answered
What about parking in Broad Green?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
What’s the nearest station to Broad Green?
West Croydon station, about 0.6 miles south of the centre.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
When should we book for a summer party?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
Can the van come to Broad Green?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Broad Green. For a quote, use our quote form.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Planning the van’s spot
If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you. What matters most:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
Broad Green is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
