Questions from Denmark Hill
Is parking a problem for the van in Denmark Hill?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
Can the van park in Brunswick Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Residents will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Where will the van park?
In the car park or on the drive, away from ambulance routes.
For planners, venues and organisers
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 work through them with you.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

What the van needs
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
- Light near the van after dark
- Away from bedroom windows
As a London location, Denmark Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
What we serve
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Gravy

What else we do in Denmark Hill
How it works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your residents, which we agree with you beforehand. For a summer visit in Denmark Hill, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden visits easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- 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.
- 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 residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Ensure the van can get in
