What about parking in Furzedown?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.

That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.

It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.

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.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Before you choose a spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- What’s available on the pitch
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
As a London location, Furzedown is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How it works
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. Summer events in Furzedown have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
