DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

St George's Fields: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for the van in St George's Fields?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
Could you trade in Geraldine Mary Harmsworth Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Are visitors included?
Yes. Just include them in your numbers.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
- Close to the garden or entrance
- A lit spot for evening service
As a London location, St George's Fields is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we serve
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
- Gravy
- Cod and chips
Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
