Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

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 cooks in front of your guests instead.

Planners, venues and businesses
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Access wide and high enough for the van
Surrey Quays is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
These are the factors that matter most:
- How far we travel
- How long we serve
- The date and time of year
- The number of meals
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- The address or venue name
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, use our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Check the van can park on site
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Choose a lit spot for the van
Plan cover for the queue.
A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.
Surrey Quays questions
Which station is closest to Surrey Quays?
Surrey Quays station, in Surrey Quays itself.
Can the van park in Deptford Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, 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.

We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
