A fish and chip van across SW16: what to know
From Thornton Heath, Streatham and Eastfields to 0 villages and hamlets, bookings across SW16 range from town-centre sites to farmyards, and a chip van suits every kind of setting. Town bookings mean planning parking; village bookings mean planning access.
Streatham: Parks such as Streatham Common generally need permission from the council or landowner for a catering van, so check first. PTAs at schools such as St Andrew's Catholic Primary School often look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. Around midsummer it stays light in Streatham until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.

A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Lighting nearby for evening events

Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
