FAQs for Thamesmead
What about parking in Thamesmead?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
Can the van park in Abbey Wood Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Is grass a problem?
Generally, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
The process
Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. In Thamesmead, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- We start with a few details about your staff event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
Getting a price
Send us the date, the address or SE28 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and you will get a clear price. To get started, use our quote form.

A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
Bins and napkins by the van make it easy.
Some teams make it a regular treat.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
For a staff treat people will remember, a chip van is hard to beat. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
