What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
Stockwell is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. December in Stockwell means early darkness: the light goes at about 3:55pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Let us know the serving time
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
