Common questions in West Norwood
Which station is closest to West Norwood?
West Norwood station, about 0.5 miles north-west of the centre.
What about parking in West Norwood?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
A Christmas party at a venue costs more per head. A van can be better value. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Why us?
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Quick service from the hatch
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- No surprises in your quote

Planning the van’s spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
As a London location, West Norwood is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Step by step
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. By about 3:55pm in late December, it is dark in West Norwood; choose a lit spot near the door for the van, and keep the walk short.
- First, tell us about your Christmas party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure the van can get in
- Share the timings for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
Getting a price
