Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Upton
Can the van park in Danson Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first.
Is parking a problem for the van in Upton?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Do you serve visitors at events?
Yes. Visitors love it.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your staff event and we will send a quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a sandwich platter, fish and chips feels like a real thank-you. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.

What the van needs
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
As a London location, Upton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

How the day works
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Lunchtime bookings in Upton are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
