Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Crystal Palace
Is parking a problem for the van in Crystal Palace?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
What’s the nearest station to Crystal Palace?

How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Do you fry it on site?

What do we need to supply?

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
- Put allergy details in writing
We arrive before your break to park and heat the fryers, so service starts on time.
A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.
What the van needs
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A clear area by the serving hatch
Crystal Palace is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
