Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
As a London location, Willesden is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
