Sundridge parties: what to know
Sundridge is about 1 mile north-east of Bromley, in Greater London. In and around Sundridge, the van can serve from a drive, a yard, a car park or a firm field. Sundridge is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover. You can also see our page for London, about 8 miles away.
Thinking of using Elmstead Wood? Parks generally need the owner’s permission, often the council’s, before a catering van can park or trade. No room for the van at home? A club or hall car park near Sundridge often works.

What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How easy the site is to reach
- The length of service
- Your choice of menu
- Any minimum charge
The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Expected numbers
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The venue or postcode
- Allergies and diets you know about
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. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.

The process
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. At midsummer, it’s light in Sundridge until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Planning help
Space, access and the venue
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
As a London location, Sundridge is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
What we serve
- Curry sauce
- Cod and chips
- Chips

Sundridge: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at St Andrew: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Could you trade in Elmstead Wood?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can you do something for the children?
Sausage and chips, normally. Let us know numbers and ages.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do you need power or water from us?
Let us know about power and water at the house, and we’ll confirm what we need.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
