Connaught Village questions

Which station is closest to Connaught Village?

The closest is London Paddington station, roughly 0.5 miles away.

Can the van park in Hyde Park?

Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.

How do you handle allergies?

Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item.

What do you bring?

Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.

Can you cook in the rain?

We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.

Can the van come to our work Christmas do?

Yes, if there is a suitable spot for the van and the site allows it.

When should we book?

Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.

How long are you on site?

It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.

Planning the van’s spot

Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:

  • Somewhere close to where people will eat
  • A lit spot if service runs after dark
  • Flat, firm ground for the van

Connaught Village 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’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Choosing a fish and chip van

Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?

A cold buffet does not feel festive. Hot food from the van does. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

Why book with us

  • Nothing for you to cook or clear
  • No surprises in your quote
  • Rain does not stop the fryers
  • Something for guests to gather round

Read our pricing or what a fish and chip van costs.

Takeaway run or book a van?

Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

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. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

How it works

The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. An afternoon Christmas party in Connaught Village can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 3:55pm; light the path to the van.

  1. Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
  2. We come back with availability and a clear price.
  3. We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
  4. Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
  5. We leave the spot as we found it.

Before we arrive

  • Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
  • Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
  • Let us know the serving time

How to get a price

What affects the price in Connaught Village

Details that help

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:

  • Dietary needs, with numbers
  • The venue or postcode
  • Anything awkward about the way in
  • A picture of the parking spot

Not sure of numbers yet? That is fine: tell us the basics about your Christmas party, and we will firm it up nearer the time. Start when you are ready: send us your details through our quote form.

What comes out of the fryer

Haddock and chips

Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.

Mushy peas

Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.

Looking after everyone

Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:

  • Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
  • Choose a lit spot for the van
  • Tell facilities or the venue about the van
  • Ask about allergies on the party invitation

For a work party, food early in the evening generally works best.

A bit of festive music by the van helps.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
