DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
Peckham: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Peckham?
Queens Road Peckham station, in Peckham itself.
What about parking in Peckham?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.

Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
About the food
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Takeaway rarely reaches a location hot. The van cooks on site. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Ensure we can reach locations on the day
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Update numbers if they change
- Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
We take our used oil and waste with us.
A gazebo by the van keeps the line dry.
Planning the van’s spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- A clear route to base
- Light near the van if needed
- Permission for the van at base
As a London location, Peckham is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

What happens on the day
Changes on the day are fine: we will adjust start times and pace. Light in Peckham lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.

- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day

- Let us know the serving time

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance and any road charges
- The minimum booking
- The day of the week
- How easy the site is to reach
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.

You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The address or venue name
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
