Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Forest Hill
How far is Forest Hill from London?
About 49 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Forest Hill too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can we pay by invoice?
We’ll explain how it works when we quote.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
What paperwork do you provide?
Every site asks for something different, so ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Staff normally gather round the hatch once service starts. For an end-of-day event in Forest Hill, summer gives you light until about 9:25pm; in late May it is about 9:00pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- First, tell us about your staff event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Planning help
Planners, venues and businesses
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Events we cater in Forest Hill
It works across shifts, because service can be planned in waves.
Whatever the occasion in Forest Hill, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We regularly serve:
- Thank-you lunches for the team
- Summer team days
- Workplace fundraising days
- Lunch for site crews
Among the historic houses close to Forest Hill are Garsington Manor (3.6 miles south) and Holywell Manor, Oxford (4 miles west). Estates and historic houses can make memorable settings for client events, but they usually set strict rules for vehicles.

Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
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. We set everything out in your quote.
Why book our van in Forest Hill
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- A van that becomes part of the event

Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
- Collect allergies in advance
- Let us know about coeliac disease
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so we are ready when the first group comes out.
Some teams make it a regular treat.

- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
