Fresh fish and chips in Hassell Street
What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
For a children’s party, serve food about an hour in, before the cake.

What happens on the day
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. At midsummer, it is light in Hassell Street until about 9:15pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
