About the food

Cod and chips

Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.

Mushy peas

No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.

Diets, allergies and planning

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:

  • Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
  • A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
  • Send allergies to us in writing
  • Ask facilities about access

After the last group, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.

A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.

Our booking checklist

How the day works

We work to your timings. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. A lunch-break van visit in Mottingham is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 3:55pm in December.

  1. Send us your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check access for the van and quote.
  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.

Getting ready for the day

  • Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
  • Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day

Common questions in Mottingham

Could you trade in Chinbrook Meadows?

Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.

Is parking a problem for the van in Mottingham?

London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.

Can you park on the road outside?

That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.

Can you serve each shift?

Give us the break times and we will serve in waves.

Do you cover Mottingham?

Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Mottingham and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, use our quote form.

Does the batter contain gluten?

Not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before booking.

Where can the van park?

Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.

Do you do customer events and open days?

Yes, it is a great draw. Tell us the expected numbers and hours.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
