West Peckham: your questions answered
Which station is closest to West Peckham?
Wateringbury station, about 2.7 miles east of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like West Peckham?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you work around shifts?
Tell us the shift and break times and we’ll plan service around them.
How does payment work for businesses?
We’ll explain how it works when we quote.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
What paperwork do you provide?
Tell us what your site needs when you enquire, and we will go through it with you.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
What happens if it rains?
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.
Corporate fish and chip catering in West Peckham, fried fresh
The van parks in the car park or yard, so nobody has to leave site. For summer staff parties and workplace fundraising days, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips and more.
At country workplaces around West Peckham, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
Plan the queue away from vehicle routes.
Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The length of service
- The date and time of year
- Numbers
- Parking and the way in
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of where the van would go
- Expected numbers
- The date and time of the event

The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. The van cooks on site. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
What you get with us
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- A clear quote before booking
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Hot food handed straight over

Should I sort the food myself?
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
The process
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. For an end-of-day event in West Peckham, summer gives you light until about 9:20pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:50pm.

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
