South Bermondsey questions
Do you trade at school fairs around South Bermondsey?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Could you trade in Paterson Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including South Bermondsey.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
How do you charge at fêtes?
That varies: a pitch fee, a share of takings or a guaranteed minimum. We will agree it in writing.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.

What happens on the day
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. Summer events in South Bermondsey have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.

- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.

Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Tell us about the pitch
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
- Agree who removes waste
- Set a time for helpers’ food
When the event closes, we pack up.
A clear route for the van before the gates open avoids problems.
