Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if plans change
- Allergen information for each item
- The minimum number of meals or minimum spend
- How much space the van takes up
How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. December in Botany Bay means early darkness: sunset is about 3:50pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
As a London location, Botany Bay 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 before booking.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Botany Bay
Can the van park in Trent Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Botany Bay?
Crews Hill station, about 1 mile north-east of the centre.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
