For planners, venues and organisers
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.

How the day works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your crew, which we agree with you beforehand. On a winter shoot near Hither Green, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch
- Let us know the serving time
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Hither Green questions
Which station is closest to Hither Green?
Hither Green station, in Hither Green itself.
What about parking in Hither Green?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.

Usually, if there is level, firm ground. We’ll agree the spot with your location manager.
How much does a fish and chip van for the crew cost in Hither Green?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
Takeaway run or book a 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.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

What the van needs

- Permission for the van at base
- Room for the crew to queue
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
As a London location, Hither Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a sandwich lunch, a chip van gives the crew a proper hot meal. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
