South Bank: A green space like Jubilee Gardens is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, typically the council’s. If guests are travelling by rail, London Waterloo station serves South Bank directly. Evening events need a little planning for light: in South Bank, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm.

Details that help
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- A picture of the parking spot
- Where the van would park
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
Working with your venue
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Planning the van’s spot
We will be honest if a spot will not work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Put bins and napkins by the van
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Give us separate numbers for children
Fish and chips is at its best fresh from the fryer, so we cook as people come up to the hatch.
Let everyone know when the food is ready.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
