What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A short walk from the party
As a London location, Tooting Bec is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Diets, allergies and planning
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Put allergy details in writing
- Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
The fryers take a little while to heat, so we arrive well before service. If plans change, tell us and we’ll adjust.
Plan cover near the hatch if rain is possible.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
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.

What else we do in Tooting Bec
Step by step
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Around midsummer it stays light in Tooting Bec until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
