Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Have other stalls for special diets
- Share last year’s numbers if you have them
- Set a time for helpers’ food
- Settle the pitch terms early
If we’re feeding volunteers, agree a time that suits the schedule.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.

Food your guests will love

Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Questions from Southfields
Do you trade at school fairs around Southfields?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Which station is closest to Southfields?
Southfields has its own station: Earlsfield station.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac visitors and we’ll explain the options.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your visitors, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
What does the pitch need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, and room for a queue. Tell us about power and water.
Working with your venue
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

How it works
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. December events in Southfields lose the light at about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; spring events have light until about 8:50pm by late May.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Ensure the van can get in
- Plan where the queue will stand
Getting a price
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.

What the van needs
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Somewhere firm if it rains
- Details of any power or water on site
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
As a London location, Southfields is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
