Common questions in Bounds Green
Do you trade at school fairs around Bounds Green?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
What’s the nearest station to Bounds Green?
Bowes Park station, in Bounds Green itself.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are 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 will tell you what’s in each item.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your visitors, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Step by step
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your visitors, which we agree with you beforehand. Summer fêtes in Bounds Green have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September the light goes at about 7:05pm.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Food your guests will love

What else we do in Bounds Green
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
- Share any nut or allergy policies
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Agree when volunteers will eat
We arrive before the gates open to set up on the pitch.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
At a small fête, one good trader may be all you need, with cakes and teas alongside. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.

Planning the van’s spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Access that avoids crowds
- A queue area clear of rides and games
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
Bounds Green is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
