Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
As a London location, Nunhead is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

How it works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. Evening events need a little planning for light: around Nunhead, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Barbecues cook in batches, and someone has to stand over the grill. With a van, the host gets to enjoy the day. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.

Nunhead: your questions answered
What about parking in Nunhead?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
Can the van park in Peckham Rye?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can we choose cod or haddock?
We serve cod and haddock; tell us which you’d like for your event.
