Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Mildmay? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that doesn’t block walkways
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
As a London location, Mildmay 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 photo and we will tell you honestly.

Should I sort the food myself?
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.
