Fish and chip van for events for your event in North Sheen

Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
- Agree how we’ll be paid: pitch fee, share of takings or minimum
- Have other stalls for special diets
We arrive before the gates open to set up on the pitch, at the agreed time.
Put the van near the entrance or the tea tent.
How the day works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. Evening events in North Sheen have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
- Access that avoids crowds
North Sheen is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
Popular choices
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Curry sauce
- Chips
- Sausage and chips
Working with your venue
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
