Common questions in Ladywell
Could you trade in Ladywell Fields?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.
Which station is closest to Ladywell?
Ladywell station, in Ladywell itself.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
Do you do residents’ portions?
Portion sizes are agreed in advance.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
For event organisers in Ladywell
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
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 nobody has to miss the care home visit.
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.
How we price a fish and chip van visit
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
- The minimum booking
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.
