What the van needs
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- A spot near your guests
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
As a London location, Streatham 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 before you book.

FAQs for Streatham
What about parking in Streatham?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Can you serve after a service at St Leonard's Church?
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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
What do you need at the house?
Mostly just a good parking spot. Mention power and water and we’ll confirm the rest.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.

The process
We don’t cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. At midsummer, it is light in Streatham until about 9:20pm, 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.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Clear the route for the van
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Have a level parking spot ready
