Connaught Village questions
Can the van park in Hyde Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What about parking in Connaught Village?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Do you do wrap parties?
Yes. It’s a great way to end a shoot.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac crew when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for crew.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Plan bins and waste at base
- Share the base location and route
After service, we pack up and get out of the way.
A quick pre-order speeds things up.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the shoot.

What else we do in Connaught Village
Planners, venues and businesses
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
Space, access and the venue
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
- Clear of the shot and sound
- A level, firm spot at the unit base
Connaught Village is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
