Questions from Telegraph Hill
What’s the nearest station to Telegraph Hill?
Brockley station, in Telegraph Hill itself.
Can the van park in Fordham Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Telegraph Hill.
How much does a fish and chip van for your Christmas party cost in Telegraph Hill?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Telegraph Hill in December: what to know
Telegraph Hill is about 1 mile south-west of New Cross, in Greater London. Whether your Christmas party is in the middle of Telegraph Hill or on the outskirts, the service works the same way: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. Telegraph Hill is one of 764 places in Greater London where we bring the van.
For colleagues travelling by train, Brockley station serves Telegraph Hill directly. Christmas fairs at a church such as St Catherine's Hatcham can book the van as a hot-food stall.
Christmas parties anywhere in SE4, SE15 and SE14 start with a parking spot for the van and a serving time. We can serve a Christmas party on streets such as Mona Road, Pepys Road and Kitto Road, wherever the van can park. We also bring the van to Christmas parties in Nunhead (1 mile south-west), New Cross (1 mile north-east), Peckham (1 mile north-west), St Johns (1 mile east) and Brockley (1 mile south-east). Within a short drive, we also cover London (3 miles north-west), City of Westminster (6 miles north-west), Marylebone (6 miles north-west), Kensington (7 miles west), St Pancras (5 miles north-west) and Shoreditch (4 miles north).

- Local pubs include The Brockley Barge pub (within half a mile south-east)
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and children love it.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Events we cater in Telegraph Hill

We’re booked for all kinds of occasions in Telegraph Hill and nearby. Some of the most common are:
