Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Somewhere firm if it rains
- Confirmation the van can trade there
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
As a London location, Golders 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 will advise.

The process
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Visitors typically gather round the hatch once service starts. Summer fêtes in Golders Green have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:20pm at midsummer, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:05pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Tell us when you want to eat

Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
