Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
As a London location, Croydon is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Common questions in Croydon
Could you trade in Park Hill Recreation Ground?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first.
Is parking a problem for the van in Croydon?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
How much does a fish and chip van for your Christmas party cost in Croydon?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options before booking.
