Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
How the day works
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can get on with your event. Summer events in Streatham have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Clear the route for the van
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue

Questions from Streatham
Can you come to a school fair in Streatham?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can the van park in Streatham Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.
What does the pitch need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, and room for a queue. Tell us about power and water.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac visitors in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t 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.
Planners, venues and businesses
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Hosting at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
