Questions from Earl's Court
Which station is closest to Earl's Court?
West Brompton station, in Earl's Court itself.
Is parking a problem for the van in Earl's Court?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can you feed our volunteers and crew?
We can. Tell us how many and when, and we will quote.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before you book.

Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
- Share any nut or allergy policies
- Share last year’s numbers if you have them
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
At the end, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.
How the day works
Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace. In Earl's Court, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:20pm, but by late September the light goes at about 7:05pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- 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.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Before we arrive
- Clear the route for the van
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

What comes out of the fryer

Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.

Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that doesn’t block walkways
- Confirmation the van can trade there
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
As a London location, Earl's Court is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
