DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

Bushey Mead: your questions answered
What about parking in Bushey Mead?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
Can the van park in Cannon Hill Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Can you trade at our fête or festival?
Tell us the date and pitch details and we’ll check.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Bushey Mead.
What do you need on the pitch?
A firm pitch with space for a queue. Tell us about power and water.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How long we serve
- Whether a minimum applies
- Numbers
- Parking and the way in
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.
Details that help
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- A photo of the parking spot
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Expected numbers
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
Still finalising the details? That’s fine: tell us the basics about your event, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. To start, use our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
- Somewhere firm if it rains
- Space for a queue away from paths
As a London location, Bushey Mead is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
