More for events in Peckham
For event organisers in Peckham
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
What affects the price in Peckham
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- The day of the week
- The menu and how many choices
- Numbers
- Travel, tolls and road charges
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.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quote, it helps to have:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Expected numbers
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Where the van would park
The quickest way to a quote is to send us your details through our quote form. Tell us about your event in Peckham, and we will check the date and send a price.
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
Peckham is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
From the hatch
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Curry sauce
- Cod and chips
- Chips
- Haddock and chips
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Make sure allergen information is available
- Tell us about the pitch
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
- Have other stalls for special diets
Mark out the queue area away from walkways, especially near rides and games.
Tables and seating nearby help families eat.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Peckham?
For a stall visitors will queue for, a chip van is hard to beat. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your event is.
Why us?
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Hot food handed straight over
- A clear quote before booking
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Peckham: your questions answered
What about parking in Peckham?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
Do you trade at school fairs around Peckham?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac visitors in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
What can visitors choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
How it works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your visitors, which we agree with you beforehand. Summer fêtes in Peckham have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September the light goes at about 7:05pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Tell us when you want to eat
How to get a price
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
