What the van needs
If a spot is not suitable, we will tell you, and help find another. The main points are:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
Erith is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

FAQs for Erith
Can you serve after a service at Christ Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What’s the nearest station to Erith?
Erith station, in Erith itself.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Working with your venue
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
What a fish and chip van costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The number of meals
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The length of service
- Any minimum charge
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Where the van would park
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The date and when you’d like to eat
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A takeaway order for a party takes ages and arrives lukewarm. A van fries on the spot. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
Why us?
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Hot food handed straight over
- No surprises in your quote
- Rain does not stop the fryers
See how we price or the cost guide.
How the day works
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Autumn and winter parties in Erith get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:50pm in December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the van can get in
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
