Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Locksbottom

Locksbottom: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for the van in Locksbottom?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.
DIY versus a fish and chip 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.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
What affects the price in Locksbottom
We’ll give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- How long we serve
- The menu and how many choices
- Numbers
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- A picture of where the van would go
- The venue or postcode
- The date and time of the event
- Rough numbers for adults and children
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. When you are ready, use our quote form.
Step by step
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. Summer events after work in Locksbottom 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.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
How to get a price
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, use our quote form.

Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
Locksbottom is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
