Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in St Ann's
What about parking in St Ann's?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
Which station is closest to St Ann's?
St Ann's has its own station: Seven Sisters station.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
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 picture if you can.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac crew and we’ll explain the options before you book.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send us your supplier requirements.
The process
You’ll know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. On a winter shoot near St Ann's, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Space, access and the venue
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
- Clear of the shot and sound
- Room for the crew to queue
As a London location, St Ann's is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
