Questions from Forest Hill
What about parking in Forest Hill?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Can the van park in Peckham Rye?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.

For event organisers in Forest Hill
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Tell us about residents’ needs in writing
- Plan it with your catering manager
- Count families who are joining in
- Arrange texture-modified meals from your own kitchen
Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Bunting, deckchairs and a seaside theme make it an occasion.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan.
The process
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, timed around your care home visit. Sunset in Forest Hill is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September; winter visits, dark by about 3:55pm, suit lunchtime.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
