Planners, venues and businesses
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.

Common questions in Peasmarsh
Which station is closest to Peasmarsh?
The closest is Shalford station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Can the van park in Shalford Mill?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Can the van come to base?
Yes, wherever locations agree; we’ll check the route.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
What about crew who do not eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Can the van come to our wrap?
We do. A chip van suits a relaxed wrap party.
