A chip van compared with other options

- Bookings across Greater London, including Nunhead
- No surprises in your quote
- Quick service from the hatch
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Book as early as possible for December
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Collect allergies in advance
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
Keep the walk from the door to the van short, so nobody is out in the cold for long.
Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.
What affects the price in Nunhead
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Any minimum charge
- The menu and how many choices
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The length of service
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
What we need to know
The more we know about your Christmas party, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The date and time of the event
- Where the event is
- Where you’d like the van to go

How it works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your Christmas party. In December, it’s dark in Nunhead by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- It starts with your date, site and numbers.
- We check access and lighting at the spot and send a price.
- We agree arrival, lighting and the serving spot with you or the venue.
- We park up, heat the fryers and serve hot food on a cold day.
- We pack up when service ends and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

FAQs for Nunhead
What’s the nearest station to Nunhead?
Nunhead has its own station: Nunhead station.
Could you trade in Peckham Rye?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you do Christmas markets?
Yes. Tell us the date and pitch.
Can you come to our office Christmas party?
Yes. Send us your date and site details.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
For event organisers in Nunhead
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.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
