Common questions in Cockfosters
Can the van park in Belmont Open Space?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What about parking in Cockfosters?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Can we pay by invoice?
Ask us when you enquire and we’ll explain how booking and payment work.

How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
- Confirm allergies by email
- Give us break and shift times
Keep the queue clear of fire exits and traffic.
A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.
A chip van compared with other options
Corporate buffets are usually cold. A chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
