What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- A clear route to base
- A level, firm spot at the unit base
- Space in front of the hatch
As a London location, Hampton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
