What happens on the day
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Evening events in Addington have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger visitors and fish-dodgers.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
- Display allergens for each stall
- Arrange bins and waste collection
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
Put bins near the queue.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.
For event organisers in Addington
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’ll confirm what we can provide.
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.
Where the van can park in Addington
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- A queue area clear of rides and games
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
- Confirmation the van can trade there
As a London location, Addington 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 are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
