Victoria: your questions answered
Could you trade in Green Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first.
Do you trade at school fairs around Victoria?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
What can visitors choose from?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Visitors will appreciate cover near the hatch.
What the van needs
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that doesn’t block walkways
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
- Access that avoids crowds
Victoria is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: 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.

A chip van compared with other options
