Cooper's Corner: your questions answered
Can the van park in Collingwood Nature Reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first.
How far is Cooper's Corner from London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, East Sussex included. See all areas.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Plan cover for the queue
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Flag any coeliac guests
Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.

What else we do in Cooper's Corner
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Working with your venue
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
How it works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace. In December, it’s dark in Cooper's Corner by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the 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.
Before we arrive
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Share the timings for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
