Planners, venues and businesses
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Richmond upon Thames
Can the van park in Pesthouse Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first.
Is parking a problem for the van in Richmond upon Thames?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
Can staff have lunch from the van?
Yes, and families love joining in.
Can portions be smaller?
Tell us what you need and we will plan portion sizes with your team.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you come to Richmond upon Thames?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Richmond upon Thames is within our area and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Where should the van go?
Wherever suits the home, as long as it’s level and safe.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
A chip van compared with other options
Compared with a takeaway delivery, a van serves hot food on site, so it isn’t lukewarm by the time it is plated. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Why us?
- No kitchen needed
- Bookings across Greater London, including Richmond upon Thames
- A menu almost everyone likes

Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order.

- A lit spot for evening service
- With the serving side away from windows
- Not blocking ambulance bays
