Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. 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 anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Space, access and the venue
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
- A clear route onto the pitch
- A queue area clear of rides and games
Motspur Park is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.

- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
