Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
How it works
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. Autumn and winter parties in Kidbrooke get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a lit spot for the van helps.

- Lighting nearby for evening events
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A short walk from the party
Kidbrooke 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.

Kidbrooke: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Kidbrooke?
The closest is Kidbrooke station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Can you serve after a service at St Barnabas?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can the van come to our street party?
Yes, with the council’s permission for the road closure. Mention the van in your application.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options.
How much does a fish and chip van for your party cost in Kidbrooke?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
Will the van fit on our drive?
It depends on the drive and the access. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we’ll advise.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
