Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
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.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
FAQs for Fortune Green
What’s the nearest station to Fortune Green?
The closest is West Hampstead Thameslink station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Can the van park in Kilburn Grange Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What are the terms for events?
That varies: a pitch fee, a share of takings or a guaranteed minimum. We’ll agree terms before the day.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.

How the day works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. At midsummer, events in Fortune Green stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Tell us when you want to eat
