Fresh fish and chips in Deptford

Where the van can park in Deptford

No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:

  • A lit spot if service runs after dark
  • Room in front of the hatch for a queue
  • Confirmation that the van can park there

As a London location, Deptford is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

About our corporate fish and chip catering in Deptford

Office teams, drivers and warehouse staff all love it, because it is familiar and filling. We’re often asked to cater retirement send-offs and celebrating a big win, serving sausage and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips.

Around Deptford, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and loading bays. Get facilities’ approval and plan access early. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Taking the team out for a meal means booking, travel and time away from site. The van brings lunch to the team. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.

Why book with us

  • No surprises in your quote
  • Classic food your staff already know
  • Something for staff to gather round
  • Fish and chips fried fresh on site

Read how we price and what a fish and chip van costs.

Looking after everyone

We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:

  • Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
  • Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
  • Ask facilities what paperwork they need
  • Ask staff about allergies with a simple form

After the last group, we pack up.

A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.

Planners, venues and businesses

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.

Organising a club, school or community event in Deptford? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.

What a fish and chip van costs

There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:

  • How many people are eating
  • Any minimum charge
  • Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
  • Parking and the way in

Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your staff event is.

Getting an accurate quote

To check availability and price, we need:

  • Where the event is
  • Where you’d like the van to go
  • How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
  • Allergies and diets you know about

We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, use our quote form.

Staff events anywhere in SE8, SE10 and SE14 start with a parking spot for the van and roughly how many staff. Streets in the area include Mill Lane, Dixon Road and Clare Road, and the van can serve a staff event on any of them with a suitable parking spot.

What happens on the day

Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Summer events after work in Deptford have light until about 9:20pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:50pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.

  1. You share your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check the route in and send a price.
  3. We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
  4. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
  5. Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

How to prepare

  • Let us know the serving time
  • Give us a contact for the day
  • Confirm the van is allowed on site

Deptford questions

Which station is closest to Deptford?

Deptford has its own station: Deptford station.

Could you trade in Sue Godfrey Nature Park?

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

Do you serve visitors at events?

We do. Visitors love it.

Can you feed staff across different shifts?

Give us the break times and we’ll serve in waves.

Does the batter contain gluten?

Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

What areas do you cover?

We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.

Can you invoice the company?

We’ll talk you through booking and payment.

Can the van park on the street?

That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is normally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

  • 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
