Planning help
Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Plaitford Green
Do you come out to small places like Plaitford Green?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Leonard: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
How far ahead should we book a party?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so ask early.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can the van come to our street party?
Yes, where the council allows it. Start the road closure application early.
