Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Hadley Wood
Can the van park in Tudor Sports Ground?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first.
Is parking a problem for the van in Hadley Wood?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
Can you come onto our site?
Usually, if there’s a level spot and the site allows it. We’ll agree the exact spot with you or facilities.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
How does payment work for businesses?
We will talk you through booking and payment.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Yes, if we know the times. We will plan it with you.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. In Hadley Wood, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Have a level parking spot ready

Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Share the shift pattern
A quick message to staff when the van opens helps.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Where the van can park in Hadley Wood
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A short walk from the party
As a London location, Hadley Wood is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
