Planning the van’s spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Clear of the shot and sound
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
- Level, firm ground at base
As a London location, Norwood New Town is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
Popular choices
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Crew lunches

Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Plan bins and waste at base
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Ask for dietary needs on the crew info form
- Give us a map or what3words for base
We take our used oil and waste with us.
Tables or a marquee at base make lunch comfortable.

How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
These are the factors that matter most:
- The length of service
- Cod, haddock or both
- How easy the site is to reach
- Numbers
Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A picture of where the van would go

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
