Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
As a London location, Richmond upon Thames is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
