- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.

Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
- Information about power and water
- A clear route onto the pitch
As a London location, South Norwood is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

South Norwood: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to South Norwood?
South Norwood has its own station: Norwood Junction station.
Is parking a problem for the van in South Norwood?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
How do you charge at fêtes?
We will talk it through when you send the details, and we will agree terms.
Do you cover South Norwood?

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 will tell you what we can offer.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac visitors when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Planners, venues and businesses
Organising a club, school or community event in South Norwood? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
