How it 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. Evenings in Green Street Green stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.

  1. Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
  2. A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
  3. A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
  4. We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
  5. Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

Before we arrive

  • Give us a contact for the day
  • Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
  • Have a level parking spot ready

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.

For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.

Space, access and the venue

We’ll be honest if a spot will not work, and help find another. What matters most:

  • Space for people to queue at the hatch
  • Lighting nearby for evening events
  • Access wide and high enough for the van

As a London location, Green Street Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
