What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Confirmation that the van can park there
As a London location, Ditton Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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 staff instead.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Common questions in Ditton Hill
What about parking in Ditton Hill?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Could you trade in Stokes Field?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first.
Do you serve visitors at events?
We do. Visitors love it.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you work around shifts?
Give us the break times and we will serve in waves.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
