Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Bankside
Is parking a problem for the van in Bankside?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Can the van park in Bernie Spain Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
