Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Lighting for early or late service
- A queue area clear of trucks
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
As a London location, Gipsy Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

- The menu and how many choices
- Any minimum charge

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.

What happens on the day
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your crew can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. Long summer days in Gipsy Hill, with light until about 9:20pm, suit evening wraps outdoors, while by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Ensure the van can get in
- Have a level parking spot ready
How to get a price
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, send us your details through our quote form.
