Where the van can park in Parsons Green
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
As a London location, Parsons Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

Fish and chip van hire in Parsons Green, cooked to order

Common questions in Parsons Green
Could you trade in Parsons Green (park)?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What about parking in Parsons Green?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can fish and chips be the only food?
It can be. Fish and chips with mushy peas is a full meal, and you can add your own cake or desserts.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
About the food
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
With a barbecue, somebody ends up cooking all afternoon. With a van, nobody misses the event. Larger groups typically cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
