Questions from Streatham Hill
Is parking a problem for the van in Streatham Hill?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
What’s the nearest station to Streatham Hill?
Streatham Hill station, in Streatham Hill itself.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
How long will the queue be?
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.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t 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.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Wrap parties add up. A van keeps it relaxed and simple. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
