Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Puddledock
What about parking in Puddledock?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
We’re gathering after a service at Holy Trinity Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do we need to provide anything?
Mostly just a good parking spot. Mention power and water and we will confirm the rest.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
Planning the van’s spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A clear area by the serving hatch
As a London location, Puddledock is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Step by step
There is very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your party. The frying and serving are down to us. Sunset in Puddledock drops to about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December, so think about lighting by the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Let us know the serving time
- Ensure the van can get in

Should I sort the food myself?
