Fresh fish and chips in Thornton Heath
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips

Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.

Service is timed to your lunch break or shift pattern, so nobody misses out. Popular choices include cod and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for fish Friday treats and project milestones.
For offices in and around Thornton Heath, the van typically parks in a car park, yard or loading bay, if the building allows it. Get facilities’ approval and plan access early.

Before you choose a spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A short walk from the party
- Access wide and high enough for the van
As a London location, Thornton Heath is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Tell the team in advance: it is half the fun.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Thornton Heath
Is parking a problem for the van in Thornton Heath?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Can the van park in Grangewood Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Do you have documents for our site?
Sites vary, so ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
Do you serve visitors at events?
Yes, it’s a great draw. Send us the timings and numbers.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We will agree a service plan before the day.
Is grass a problem?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
