Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Agree the waste plan with locations
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Ask for dietary needs on the crew info form
- Give us a map or what3words for base
After service, we pack up and get out of the way.
Tables or a marquee at base make lunch comfortable.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How far we travel
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Cod, haddock or both

FAQs for Bayswater
What’s the nearest station to Bayswater?
London Paddington station, about 0.9 miles north-east of the centre.
Could you trade in Kensington Palace Green?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
What if lunch moves?
Schedules move, and we plan for it. Keep us updated and we’ll adapt.
Can you feed supporting artists too?
Of course. Just tell us who counts.
Do you have documents for productions?
Tell us what the production needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Is grass a problem?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Bayswater? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
What the van needs

- Access checked by locations
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
- A queue area clear of trucks
As a London location, Bayswater is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
