Events in Staples Corner range from street parties and school fairs to markets and festivals. Public spaces usually need council permission, and the van needs a pitch it can reach. We cook inside the van, right where your visitors are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that does not block walkways
- What’s available on the pitch
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
As a London location, Staples Corner is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
How the day works
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. For an evening event in Staples Corner, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
