Aldersbrook: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for the van in Aldersbrook?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Can the van park in Valentines Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.
Space, access and the venue
If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
As a London location, Aldersbrook is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
