Christmas party fish and chips in Grove Park
How the day works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. Plan your Christmas party in Grove Park around the dark: the light goes at about 3:55pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Get permission for the van from the venue

Common questions in Grove Park
What’s the nearest station to Grove Park?

Can the van park in Dukes Meadows?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
Can the van come to Grove Park?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Grove Park is within our area. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
