- A clear way in for the van
- With the serving side away from windows
- Light near the van after dark
As a London location, Knightsbridge is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

Common questions in Knightsbridge
Is parking a problem for the van in Knightsbridge?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
Could you trade in Royal Parks of London?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can everyone take part?
Your care team knows each resident’s needs. Share the diets and we will say what we can do; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.
Can you park at the home?
On a level spot in the car park or drive, clear of emergency access.
Can portions be smaller?
Portion sizes are agreed in advance.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
Do you offer repeat visits?
Yes, ask us about regular dates.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Numbers
- Service time
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Getting an accurate quote

Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
