Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
Keep the queue clear of fire exits and traffic.
Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.
About the food
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, everyone gets a break. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
What you get with us
- A van that becomes part of the event
- All the chip-shop extras
- No surprises in your quote
- Hot food handed straight over
Organising for someone else?
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
How it works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. For a staff lunch in Chipstead, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.

- We check the route in and send a price.

Preparing for the day

Planning help
Chipstead: your questions answered
Could you trade in Fames Rough?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What about parking in Chipstead?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
What about staff who don’t eat fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Do you do customer events and open days?
Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Tell us the expected numbers and hours.
What can staff choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. Find your area.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Where the van can park in Chipstead
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
Chipstead is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
