Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Space for a queue away from paths
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
Camberwell is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Camberwell?
Cold food stalls are fine on a hot day, but hot food is a draw when it is cool. Larger groups generally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

The process
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. Evening events in Camberwell have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
