Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

About the food
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
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
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
St George in the East is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
