London work events in Hatch End frequently run to a tight lunch break, so we keep the menu short and service quick. Let us know about access and security. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
Hatch End is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Planning for 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:
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Put allergy details in writing
Put bins near the hatch.
Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Distance and any road charges
- The date and time of year
- How long we serve
- Your choice of menu
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and time of the event
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, fill in our quote form.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
Questions from Hatch End
What about parking in Hatch End?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
Can the van park in Headstone Manor Recreation Ground?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you do customer events and open days?
Yes. Visitors love it.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. Find your area.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for staff.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
