Working with your venue
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.

- Away from bedroom windows
- Close to the garden or entrance
- Away from emergency access
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
