A fish and chip van across SE23: what to know
There are 3 towns and 0 villages and hamlets in SE23, so whether your event is in Sydenham, Perry Vale and Crofton Park or a quiet village, the approach is the same: a level spot, a clear way in and a plan.
Perry Vale: Thinking of using Mayow Park? Parks normally need the owner’s permission, often the council’s, before a catering van can park or trade. School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Perrymount Primary School, can book the van as a food stall. By late September, sunset in Perry Vale is around 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.

We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
