Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Mapesbury questions
Can you serve after a service at St Michael the Archangel?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What about parking in Mapesbury?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Will guests take photos at the van?
Lots of couples ask for a photo at the van. If you’d rather not, we will park out of shot where possible.
Is grass a problem?
Normally, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
Not every guest eats in the evening. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you come to Mapesbury?
We do. Mapesbury is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.

The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Confirmation that the van can park there
Mapesbury is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.

Let the DJ or band announce when the food is ready.
