For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Before you choose a spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A clear route to base
- Lighting for early or late service
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
As a London location, Little Venice is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

FAQs for Little Venice
Can the van park in Kensington Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is parking a problem for the van in Little Venice?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
What if lunch moves?
We can. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we will adjust where possible.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Crew will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
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:
- Send final numbers the day before
- Send the unit base address and directions
- Flag any coeliac crew
- Give us a contact for call-time changes
We take our used oil and waste with us.
Plan bins at the unit base.
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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 crew instead.

About the food
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it is a favourite with children.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Little Venice?
Next to a sandwich lunch, hot fish and chips is a real lunch. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
