For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- The day of the week
- Cod, haddock or both
- Access and parking
- Any minimum charge
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

Step by step
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Sunset in Selhurst drops to about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check access for the van and send a quote.
- We arrive, park on the drive or agreed spot and set up.
- We fry fresh and serve from the hatch as your guests come up.
- We pack up when we’re done and leave the pitch tidy.

Common questions in Selhurst
Can the van park in South Norwood Recreation Ground?

Norwood Junction station, in Selhurst itself.

London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Selhurst.

Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.

Can the van come to our street party?
Often, yes. Start the road closure application early.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
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.

Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
Space, access and the venue
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A spot near your guests
- Lighting nearby for evening events
As a London location, Selhurst is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
