How fish and chip van hire works in CR90
The menu is short and classic: fish and chips, sausages and pies, plus the sides everyone expects. A short menu keeps the food fresh and the queue moving. We’re often asked to cater staff thank-you lunches and wakes and celebrations of life, with pie and chips, mushy peas and gravy.
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Prices in CR90
There’s 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.

Planning a chip van in CR90
CR90 covers everything from Broad Green and Old Town to 0 small villages and hamlets, and the van works in all of them. Town bookings mean planning parking; village bookings mean planning access.
Broad Green: For guests coming by train, the nearest station is West Croydon station, about 0.6 miles south. For a christening or celebration after a service at a church such as Church of St Saviour, the van can serve at a hall or home nearby. Light matters for evening service: around Broad Green, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
For planners, venues and organisers
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
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 fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with a hog roast, a fish and chip van gives people a choice of fish, sausage or pie, which helps if some guests don’t eat pork.

FAQs for CR90
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Can we choose cod or haddock?
Let us know which you’d prefer and we will confirm the menu.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
