The process
The first sign we’ve arrived is generally the smell, about the time the first guests wander across. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. At midsummer, sunset in Lessness Heath is about 9:20pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

What a fish and chip van costs
We’ll give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Access and parking
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How far we travel
- The length of service
Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
What to tell us
These details help us quote quickly:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Your date and serving time
- A picture of where the van would go
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll check availability straight away.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.

Space, access and the venue
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- A spot near your guests
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
Lessness Heath is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.

Lessness Heath questions
Can you serve after a service at Parish Church of All Saints?
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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is parking a problem for the van in Lessness Heath?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Where will the van go at our venue?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and the venue agrees. We will check access with you and the venue.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What time will you serve?
Most couples choose between 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done. We will work to your timings.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
That depends on your day. Many couples cater for most of the evening list.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Bacon rolls and pizza are popular evening choices too. A chip van gives a more filling, proper meal that guests remember. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. A short menu is often the best value.
