Fish and chip van for events for Duckett's Green events
Planning the van’s spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
- Confirmation the van can trade there
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
As a London location, Duckett's Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

FAQs for Duckett's Green
Is parking a problem for the van in Duckett's Green?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
Which station is closest to Duckett's Green?
The closest is Hornsey station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do you cover Duckett's Green?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Duckett's Green and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
A chip van compared with other options
Next to a volunteer barbecue, a van means volunteers can enjoy the day. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
