Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Light near the van if needed
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
- Space in front of the hatch
As a London location, Newington Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

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 plan ahead.
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.

What else we do in Newington Green
Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Ask for dietary needs on the crew info form
- Confirm numbers the day before
- Ensure we can reach locations on the day
- Send allergies to us in writing
We take our used oil and waste with us.
Plan bins at the unit base.

FAQs for Newington Green
Could you trade in Highbury Fields?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is parking a problem for the van in Newington Green?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
What if lunch moves?
We expect changes. A contact on the day is all we need.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.

What happens on the day
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Long summer days in Newington Green, with light until about 9:20pm, suit evening wraps outdoors, while by late September it is nearer 7:05pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
