A fish and chip van or other catering?
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. A van fries on the spot, so it is crisp when it’s handed over. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.

Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- A spot near your guests
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
Hounslow 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.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
