Fresh fish and chips in Charlton

Diets, allergies and planning

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:

  • Send allergies to us in writing
  • Consider a pre-order list
  • Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
  • Share the shift pattern

We get there ahead of the lunch break, so we’re ready when the first group comes out.

A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.

Questions from Charlton

What about parking in Charlton?

It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.

Can the van park in Charlton Park?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.

What does the van need?

Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.

What paperwork do you provide?

Every site asks for something different, so ask facilities for their list and pass it on.

Do you do anything other than fish?

Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.

Who clears up?

The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

Can the van come to Charlton?

Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Charlton is within our area. To check your date, use our quote form.

Can you cook in the rain?

The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

Our booking checklist

For planners, venues and organisers

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.

Space, access and the venue

Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:

  • A spot near your staff
  • A clear area by the serving hatch
  • Access wide and high enough for the van

As a London location, Charlton 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 will advise.

On the menu in Charlton

  • Cod and chips
  • Staff lunches

What affects the price in Charlton

There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:

  • The minimum booking
  • The day of the week
  • Numbers
  • Service time

Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.

What to tell us

For a quote, it helps to have:

  • Rough numbers for adults and children
  • A picture of where the van would go
  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • Anything awkward about the way in

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you are ready, use our quote form.

A chip van compared with other options

With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, everyone gets a break. There is 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.

Why Charlton hosts choose us

  • Quick service from the hatch
  • We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
  • Events in Charlton and across Greater London
  • All the chip-shop extras

What happens on the day

The first sign we have arrived is normally the smell. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. A lunch-break van visit in Charlton is always in daylight, but evening events need lights from about 3:55pm in December or 7:05pm in late September.

  1. Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
  2. Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
  3. Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
  4. The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
  5. Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Before we arrive

  • Plan where the queue will stand
  • Let us know the serving time
  • Give us your final numbers and allergies

How to get a price

Each quote is put together for your staff event. Start with your date, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
