In a London neighbourhood like Falconwood, the van typically parks on a drive, in a car park or yard, or on a street with the right permission. The thing to plan is where the van stops, so let us know about off-street space or permits. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

FAQs for Falconwood
Which station is closest to Falconwood?

What about parking in Falconwood?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.

What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Can you feed plenty of people?
It depends on numbers and timings. A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do we need to provide equipment?

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

How it works
You’ll know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first guests wander across. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. Late September evenings in Falconwood 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, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Clear the route for the van
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Plated meals need a kitchen and a bigger team. A fish and chip van needs a level spot and permission to park. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
Why book our van in Falconwood
- We cover Falconwood and the whole of Greater London
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Whether a minimum applies
- The day of the week
- Parking and the way in
- Travel, tolls and road charges
The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Details that help
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Expected numbers
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
As a London location, Falconwood is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
