How it works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Guests typically gather round the hatch as soon as we open. Sunset in Bromley is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Clear the route for the van
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Bromley
Could you trade in Church House Gardens?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Bromley?
Bromley South station, in Bromley itself.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.
Will the van fit on our drive?
That depends on the space and the route in. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we’ll tell you honestly.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
