Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.

Putney questions
What’s the nearest station to Putney?
Putney station, in Putney itself.
Can the van park in Bishops Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can you park at the unit base?
Yes, wherever locations agree; we’ll check the route.
Can the van come to our wrap?
Yes, it’s a popular wrap. Tell us the details.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
