Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Arrange bins and waste collection
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
- Give us an idea of numbers
If we’re feeding volunteers, agree a time that suits the schedule.
A clear route for the van before the gates open avoids problems.

- What’s available on the pitch
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that doesn’t block walkways
Wandsworth 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.

FAQs for Wandsworth
Do you trade at school fairs around Wandsworth?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.

Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
What do you need on the pitch?
Send us the pitch details, and we will confirm.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Do you do festivals?
Yes, where the date suits. Contact us with the details.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can you feed our volunteers and crew?
Yes, at a time that suits your schedule.
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
