If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. With darkness by about 3:55pm in December, winter van visits in Stamford Hill suit lunchtime.
- We start with the date, numbers and a serving time that suits the home.
- We check the parking spot and send a price.
- We plan portions and dietary needs with the home.

Can the van park in Abney Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.

Yes, it’s a lovely chance for families to visit.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
- Away from emergency access
- Lighting for later visits
As a London location, Stamford Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
