Fish and chip van for events in Streatham Park, fried fresh
Food is fried to order, so it is hot and crisp. We serve curry sauce, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for summer fairs and fish and chip supper nights.
In Streatham Park, street events mean planning closures and access. Tell us the pitch details and timings. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Common questions in Streatham Park
Which station is closest to Streatham Park?
The closest is Streatham station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Can the van park in Streatham Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for visitors are worth planning.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
Do you trade at schools?
Yes, with the school’s permission for the van on site. Tell us the date and where the van would park.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Agree who removes waste
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
- Tell us about any school or event allergy policies
- Settle the pitch terms early
If we are feeding volunteers, agree a time that suits the schedule.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.

Step by step
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Visitors will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. At midsummer, events in Streatham Park stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Plan where the queue will stand

Space, access and the venue

- Access that avoids crowds
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
- Somewhere firm if it rains
