How the day works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. Evenings in Sutton stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it is dark, we need light by the hatch and the queue.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
How to prepare

From a family drive to an office yard, bookings in Sutton come in all shapes. Tell us how the van gets in. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Common questions in Sutton
We’re gathering after a service at St Nicholas Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Could you trade in Manor Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
What is fish and chip van hire?
The van comes to you, fry everything to order, and serve when you are ready to eat.
Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
Having the party at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
Bins and napkins near the hatch make life easier for everyone.
A string of bunting by the van makes a lovely photo.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Flat, firm ground for the van
Sutton 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.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
