Common questions in Loughborough Junction
Can you serve after a service at St Matthew's Camberwell?
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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
What about parking in Loughborough Junction?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can you come to the house?
Yes. Send us a picture of the drive or the road outside.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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 guests instead.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Tell us about any close family with allergies
- Plan seating for older guests
- Allow a little extra
- Ask the venue about the van
Make sure older relatives can sit to eat.
Some families add a favourite dessert or cake.
How we price fish and chips for the wake
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Any minimum charge
- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
- How long we serve
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Where the event is
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
For event organisers in Loughborough Junction
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Confirmation that the van can park there
