Common questions in Mitcham

Is parking a problem for the van in Mitcham?

London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.

Which station is closest to Mitcham?

The closest is Mitcham Eastfields station, roughly 0.5 miles away.

How fast is service?

Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.

What does the van need?

Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.

Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?

Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before booking.

Can the van park on grass?

Typically, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

Do you do Christmas markets?

We do. Tell us the date and pitch.

Can the van come to our work Christmas do?

We do. Send us your date and site details as early as you can.

How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Mitcham

For a family gathering over Christmas, the van can come to you, if the date suits. Popular choices include gravy, curry sauce and haddock and chips, and we are frequently booked for new Year parties and staff Christmas parties.

Around Mitcham, a Christmas booking needs a lit, off-road spot. In London, access needs planning. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.

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.

Where the van can park in Mitcham

The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:

A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
A route in without tight gates or low branches
The site’s agreement to a catering van

Mitcham is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.

How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party

Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:

How easy the site is to reach
How many people are eating
The date and time of year
The minimum booking

Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

Details that help

Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:

Roughly how many people, including children
The spot you have in mind for the van
Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
Your date and serving time

We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, use our quote form.

What comes out of the fryer

Curry sauce

The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.

Mushy peas

No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
