Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
Ushers or bridesmaids can send tables up in turn.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.
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
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
As a London location, Crook Log is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

Common questions in Crook Log
Is parking a problem for the van in Crook Log?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
Which station is closest to Crook Log?
Bexleyheath station, in Crook Log itself.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Most couples plan for most of their evening guests.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
Can you cook in the rain?
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.
