Before you choose a spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Access wide and high enough for the van
As a London location, Putney Vale is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Putney Vale is about 2 miles north-west of Wimbledon, in Greater London. For a party in Putney Vale, the van can park on drives, in car parks and yards, and on firm lawns and fields. We take the van to 764 places in Greater London. We serve events right across the region, from Putney Vale to London (8 miles away).
Historic houses near Putney Vale include Southside House (1.5 miles south-east) and Pembroke Lodge (2 miles west). Grand settings like these frequently have strict rules on vehicles and caterers, so for most parties a home or hired hall is simpler. A green space like Wimbledon Common is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, usually the council’s.

Your party could be at a house on Stag Lane, Friars Avenue and Kingston Road or the roads around them, wherever the van can park. Being close to the A308, Putney Vale is easy for us to reach.

The process
Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. A summer party in Putney Vale stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
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

Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

Putney Vale: your questions answered
Could you trade in Wimbledon Common?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you serve after a service at St John the Baptist?
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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
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’ll be honest about what’s possible.
How early do summer dates go?
As early as you can for summer weekends. Ask about your date.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Is there a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include them in your numbers.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
