How our fish and chip van for events works in Peckham Bush
A van suits shows and field events, if the ground is firm enough for vehicles. Typical bookings include village fêtes and sports days, with sausage and chips, cod and chips and chips.
At a field event near Peckham Bush, power and water may be limited; tell us what’s available and we will plan around it. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Planners, venues and businesses
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
