Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
Ealing is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How the day works
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your event. Late September evenings in Ealing lose the light at about 7:05pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Tell us when you want to eat
