Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. In Lea Bridge, the garden season runs from late May, with light until about 8:50pm, to late September, around 7:05pm; in winter, keep it to lunchtime.

- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.

What the van needs

- A level parking spot near the entrance
- Lighting for later visits

As a London location, Lea Bridge is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

What about parking in Lea Bridge?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
Which station is closest to Lea Bridge?
Clapton station, about 0.5 miles west of the centre.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.

What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
