Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Stanford Common
Could you trade in Burner's Heath and Swallows Pond?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first.
Is Stanford Common close to London?
Roughly 28 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Can the van come to Stanford Common?
Yes, we do. Stanford Common is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Book as early as possible for December
- Keep the queue dry
Serving early, before the drinks flow, is often wise.
A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.

The process
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch when you are ready to eat. December in Stanford Common means early darkness: the light goes at about 3:55pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- You tell us the date, the venue or site, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the spot for the van and send a quote.
- We plan a lit, sheltered spot for the van and queue.
- We park up, heat the fryers and serve hot food on a cold day.
- We pack up when service ends and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
