FAQs for Broom Hill
Can the van park in Jubilee Country Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Is parking a problem for the van in Broom Hill?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
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.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How many portions do we need?
Not every guest eats in the evening. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we’ll advise.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Diets, allergies and planning

- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically

We arrive and set up without getting in the way, so we are ready at the agreed time.

- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A spot near your guests
As a London location, Broom Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

How the day works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. For a summer wedding in Broom Hill, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening fish and chips is frequently served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Evening food can be anything from bacon rolls to pizza. A chip van gives a more filling, proper meal that guests remember. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
