Before you choose a spot
If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you. The main points are:
- With the serving side away from windows
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
- A clear way in for the van
As a London location, Kew is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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 residents instead.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
