What the van needs
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Flat, firm ground for the van
Bandonhill is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

What a fish and chip van costs
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Access and parking
- Distance and any road charges
- The number of meals
- The day of the week
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The venue or postcode
- Your date and serving time
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The spot you have in mind for the van
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, use our quote form.

Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Book as early as possible for December
- Plan cover for the queue
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
Afterwards, we pack up.
Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
The process
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. By about 3:55pm in late December, it is dark in Bandonhill; choose a lit spot near the door for the van, and keep the walk short.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
