What the van needs

- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
As a London location, Tulse Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Tulse Hill
Can the van park in Belair Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you serve after a service at Holy Trinity Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you cover Tulse Hill?
Yes, we do. Tulse Hill is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What happens on the day
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Guests typically gather round the hatch as soon as we open. Around midsummer it stays light in Tulse Hill until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
