Planning the van’s spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Somewhere firm if it rains
- Confirmation the van can trade there
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
As a London location, Wapping is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

A chip van compared with other options
At larger events, a van adds to the mix. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.

- Classic food your visitors already know
- No surprises in your quote
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up

DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Set a time for helpers’ food
- Tell us about the pitch
- Share any nut or allergy policies
Agree a wet-weather pitch on hard standing in case the ground is soft.
Plan vehicle access before visitors arrive.

- Roughly how many people, including children

Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will come back with a clear quote.
