How to compare vans

Before you choose a spot

A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:

  • A clear way in for the van
  • A lit spot for evening service
  • With the serving side away from windows

As a London location, North Cheam is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

What we serve

  • Haddock and chips
  • Cod and chips
  • Sausage and chips
  • Gravy
  • Pie and chips
  • Mushy peas

What affects the price in North Cheam

Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:

  • The minimum booking
  • Parking and the way in
  • Service time
  • The number of meals

Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.

Getting an accurate quote

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:

  • The spot you have in mind for the van
  • The date and when you’d like to eat
  • A picture of the space and the way in
  • Dietary needs, with numbers

Send us the date, the address or SM3 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and we will reply with a quote. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.

For event organisers in North Cheam

Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

Allergies and dietary needs

Most events have a few residents with dietary needs. To look after them:

  • Keep the van clear of emergency access
  • Include staff and visitors in your numbers
  • Plan how food reaches residents indoors
  • Choose a time around meals and medication

Staff carry plates to residents who cannot come outside, while it is hot.

Families love being included.

What happens on the day

You do not need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your care home visit. The frying and serving are down to us. With darkness by about 3:55pm in December, winter van visits in North Cheam suit lunchtime, while summer visits can run into the evening, with light until about 9:20pm.

  1. First, the plan: what, where and what time.
  2. We come back with availability and a clear price.
  3. The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
  4. Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
  5. The pitch is left tidy when we go.

Getting ready for the day

Questions from North Cheam

Which station is closest to North Cheam?

West Sutton station, about 0.8 miles south-east of the centre.

Is parking a problem for the van in North Cheam?

It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.

Is there something for children?

Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.

Can the van come to North Cheam?

Yes. We cover London and the South East, and North Cheam is within our area. For a quote, fill in our quote form.

Do you do anything other than fish?

There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.

What about residents on soft diets?

Your care team knows each resident’s needs. Tell us about any diets and we’ll explain what we can offer; texture-modified meals should be prepared or advised on by your own team.

Which areas do you serve?

We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.

What food do you serve?

Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.

Takeaway run or book a van?

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.

If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
