Planning the van’s spot
If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
As a London location, Coombe 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’ll advise before booking.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Common questions in Coombe
Could you trade in Cottenham Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first.
What about parking in Coombe?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
When should we eat?
Early in the evening typically works best, before the drinks really flow. For a lunch, tell us your break time.
What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and children love it.
