New Addington: your questions answered
What about parking in New Addington?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
We are gathering after a service at St Edward King and Confessor: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
How does fish and chip van hire work?
The van comes to you, cook fresh on site, and serve when you are ready to eat.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a hog roast, a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies rather than one dish, which suits guests who don’t eat pork. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
What you get with us
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
Space, access and the venue
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
As a London location, New Addington 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’ll advise.

Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
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.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Give us separate numbers for children
- A short menu helps everyone
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
Keep the menu short and the queue moves quickly.
A gazebo by the van keeps the queue dry.
