Party fish and chip van for your party in Bromley Common
A chip van also works for street parties, with the right permissions in place. Popular choices include pie and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips, and we’re often booked for engagement parties and birthday parties.
In Bromley Common, 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. Send us a picture. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your party, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Looking after everyone
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Confirm allergies by email
- Check the street’s parking rules
- Have a back-up for special diets
When everyone has eaten, we pack up and leave the drive tidy.
A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.

Events we cater in Bromley Common
It is a real treat for guests, and it gets people talking.
Whatever the occasion in Bromley Common, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We are frequently booked for:
- Neighbourhood get-togethers
- Family reunions
- Summer garden parties
- Naming days and christenings
No room for the van at home? A club or hall car park near Bromley Common often works.
Before booking anyone

How it works
You will know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. At midsummer, it’s light in Bromley Common until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get an access check and a clear price.
- We arrive, park on the drive or agreed spot and set up.
- We serve hot from the hatch while the party carries on.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the drive tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Bromley Common questions
What’s the nearest station to Bromley Common?
Bickley station, about 1.2 miles north of the centre.
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can the van come to our street party?
Yes, where the council allows it. Start the road closure application early.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
How far ahead should we book a party?
Summer weekends go first. Get in touch with your date.
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.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How long we serve
- The date and time of year
- Your choice of menu
- The minimum booking
Larger groups usually cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Details that help
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The venue or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. To send your details, use our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
Bromley Common 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.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

A hog roast is pork only, while a chip van gives people a choice. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
