Broom Hill is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.

What else we do in Broom Hill
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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 is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
For a party that feels special but relaxed, a chip van is hard to beat. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your party is.
What you get with us
- All the chip-shop extras
- Something for guests to gather round
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
