For event organisers in Perry Vale

Questions from Perry Vale
Can the van park in Mayow Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What about parking in Perry Vale?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Parking and the way in
- Numbers
- How long we serve
- The menu and how many choices
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Expected numbers
- The address or venue name
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Where you’d like the van to go
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will come back with a clear quote.
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
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.

Allergies and dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Choose a spot away from ambulance routes
- Plan how food reaches residents indoors
- Plan portion sizes with us
- Agree numbers for residents, staff and families
Residents in their rooms get food on a covered tray right away.
Make it a regular event.
Space, access and the venue

- A clear way in for the van
- Light near the van after dark
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
As a London location, Perry Vale is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
