How we price a fish and chip van visit
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Parking and the way in
- Distance and any road charges
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:

- Not right beside residents’ rooms
- Not blocking ambulance bays
- Lighting for later visits
Blackheath is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.

FAQs for Blackheath
What’s the nearest station to Blackheath?
Blackheath has its own station: Blackheath station.
Can the van park in Manor House Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.
What about residents who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac residents when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Do you come to Blackheath?
We do. We serve events in Blackheath and across Greater London. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
How the day works
Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. With darkness by about 3:55pm in December, winter van visits in Blackheath suit lunchtime.
