Elmers End questions
Is parking a problem for the van in Elmers End?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
What’s the nearest station to Elmers End?
Elmers End station, in Elmers End itself.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
Where will the van go on our site?
That is up to your site, but a car park or yard is typically ideal.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Children generally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Corporate fish and chip catering in Elmers End, fried fresh
We work with your facilities team on access and parking, and we will confirm what we can provide for your site’s paperwork. For lunch for site crews and thank-you lunches for the team, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, pie and chips and haddock and chips for your guests.
For offices in and around Elmers End, the van generally parks in a car park, yard or loading bay, if the building allows it. Facilities teams generally need to approve the van, and access needs planning. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
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.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Why book with us
- Something for staff to gather round
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Hot food handed straight over
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up

How the day works
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. Summer events after work in Elmers End 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.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Clear the route for the van
- Let us know the serving time
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch

- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Cod, haddock or both

Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A clear area by the serving hatch
Elmers End is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

A quick message to staff when the van opens helps, and stagger departments if you can.
