Where the van can park in Anerley
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A clear route to base
- Room for the crew to queue
- A level, firm spot at the unit base
As a London location, Anerley is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Anerley
Is parking a problem for the van in Anerley?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Which station is closest to Anerley?
Anerley station, in Anerley itself.
Can you work to the call sheet?
Schedules move, and we plan for it. A contact on the day is all we need.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.
About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
