Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
East Ham is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
