FAQs for Tooting Bec
Is parking a problem for the van in Tooting Bec?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Which station is closest to Tooting Bec?
Tooting station, about 0.6 miles south of the centre.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Tooting Bec.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can the van park on grass?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Agree the terms in writing

A sign at the entrance tells visitors hot food is available.
