Planning the van’s spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
As a London location, Mortlake 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 picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we serve
- Pie and chips
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Chips
- Curry sauce
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Gravy
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
