DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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.

Common questions in Abbey Wood
What about parking in Abbey Wood?

Could you trade in Abbey Wood Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Where will the van go at our venue?
Often, if the ground is firm and the venue agrees. We’ll agree the spot in advance.
When should evening food go out?
At the time you choose. After the first dance is the most popular time.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.

Step by step
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. In Abbey Wood, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means evening fish and chips is frequently served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:50pm.

Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Do not forget your suppliers
Sending tables up in turn keeps the queue short if you have plenty of guests.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.
