Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A spot near your guests
Abbey Wood is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Take a look at how we price or what a fish and chip van costs.
The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The number of meals
- The length of service
- Your choice of menu
- The date and time of year
Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
