Your questions about a fish and chip van in City of Westminster
Could you trade in Hyde Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What about parking in City of Westminster?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
Can you feed plenty of people?
It depends on numbers and timings. A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
Is it a full meal?
It is a full meal on its own. Many hosts add their own desserts or cake.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
For planners, venues and organisers
Having the party at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it’s on the menu.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Fewer choices mean faster service
- Have a back-up for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive in good time, set up, cook and serve, and stay in touch about any changes.
Bunting or festoon lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A spot near your guests
City of Westminster is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.
