Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Share the shift pattern
We can serve each shift in turn.
Tell the team in advance: it’s half the fun.
The process
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Your staff can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. Summer events after work in Blackfriars have light until about 9:20pm; in late May it is about 8:50pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

FAQs for Blackfriars
What about parking in Blackfriars?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
What’s the nearest station to Blackfriars?
London Blackfriars station, in Blackfriars itself.
Where will the van go on our site?
That’s up to your site, but car parks and yards usually work well.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you cover Blackfriars?
We do. We serve events in Blackfriars and across Greater London. Send us your date to check availability.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your staff, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
Blackfriars 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.

About the food
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
