Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in East Peckham
Is East Peckham close to London?
Roughly 29 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to East Peckham?
The closest is Beltring station, roughly 1 mile away.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send us your site’s list, and we will go through it with you.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What can staff choose from?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
What about staff who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
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.

Planning help
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
