Common questions in Blackheath
Is Blackheath too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Blackheath?
The closest is Chilworth station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Do you do evening food for weddings?
Evening food is exactly what we do. We will agree a serving time around your running order.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can the van come to Blackheath?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Blackheath. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
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.
What happens on the day
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Guests typically gather round the hatch once service starts. In Blackheath, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- You tell us your date, venue, rough numbers and when you’d like the food.
- We check access at the venue and send a price.
- We agree arrival and serving times with you and your venue.
- On the day we set up in good time and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- We pack up when service is finished, leaving the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
