Before you choose a spot

A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:

  • Access wide and high enough for the van
  • A spot near your guests
  • A level, firm spot the van can drive onto

As a London location, Stanmore is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

15 questions to ask before you book

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Stanmore

Is parking a problem for the van in Stanmore?

It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.

Could you trade in Canons Park?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first.

Do you cater Christmas fairs?

Yes. Send us the event details and the pitch information.

Do we need to provide anything?

A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.

Do you clear up afterwards?

We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.

Can the van park on grass?

Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

Does the batter contain gluten?

No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.

How soon do we need to book?

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.

Step by step

You don’t need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your Christmas party. We handle the cooking and serving. It gets dark in Stanmore by about 3:55pm at Christmas; choose a lit spot near the door for the van, and keep the walk short.
