Questions from East Peckham
Do you trade at school fairs around East Peckham?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Do you come out to small places like East Peckham?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you do festivals?
Tell us the date and pitch details and we will check.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
What are the terms for events?
It depends on the event: a pitch fee, a share of takings or a guaranteed minimum. We’ll agree terms before the day.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac visitors in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
What can visitors choose from?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Kent. Find your area.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. December events in East Peckham lose the light at about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; spring events have light until about 8:50pm by late May.
