Planning a team lunch in Addiscombe
Addiscombe is about 2 miles north-east of Croydon, in Greater London. Staff events in Addiscombe are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, an agreed spot for the van and food fried fresh on the day. We cover 764 places across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from Addiscombe to London (about 8 miles away).
Among the historic houses close to Addiscombe are Addington Palace (2 miles south-east) and Kingswood House (3.5 miles north). For a client event at a historic house, ask early about rules for catering vans. For staff and visitors coming by train, the closest railway station is Norwood Junction station, roughly 1.2 miles north of the centre.
This part of Greater London takes in CR0, SE25 and CR9, so your staff event can be anywhere in it. We can serve a staff event on streets such as Grant Road, Capri Road and Coe Avenue or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere for the van. Addiscombe sits on or near the A232, so getting the van to your staff event is simple. Close by, we cover staff events in Shirley Oaks (1 mile east), Ashburton (1 mile north), Woodside (1 mile north), Shirley (1 mile east) and Monks Orchard (1 mile east). Within a short drive, we also cover London (8 miles north), City of Westminster (10 miles north), Marylebone (10 miles north), Kensington (10 miles north-west), St Pancras (10 miles north) and Shoreditch (10 miles north).
Nearby you’ll also find County Borough of Croydon (1.5 miles south-west) and National Psychosis Unit (1.5 miles east). Open spaces near Addiscombe include Duppas Hill and Bramley Bank.
- Local schools include The Woodside Academy (less than half a mile north-west)
- Pubs nearby include The Cricketers pub (within half a mile east)
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
As a London location, Addiscombe is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with frying and serving. For an end-of-day event in Addiscombe, summer gives you light until about 9:20pm; in late May it is about 8:50pm.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For a staff treat people will remember, a fish and chip van is a great choice in Addiscombe. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.
Why us?
- No surprises in your quote
- Quick service from the hatch
- All the chip-shop extras
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
See our prices page and the cost guide.
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
