Organising for someone else?
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Not blocking ambulance bays
- A clear way in for the van
- Light near the van after dark
As a London location, St Margarets is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
