Aldersbrook events: pitches and permissions
Aldersbrook is about 1 mile north of Forest Gate, in Greater London. Give us the address of your event in Aldersbrook, and we’ll plan the route and the parking spot before the day. We cover all 764 towns and villages in Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is London, about 7 miles away.
PTAs at schools such as Aldersbrook Primary School frequently want one reliable hot-food stall. Events in parks such as Valentines Park need permission from the council or landowner, and the van needs a firm route onto the pitch.

You’ll find Aldersbrook on the A116, which makes the journey straightforward.

Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Tell us about any school or event allergy policies
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
Plan where the queue forms.
Plan vehicle access before visitors arrive.
Before you choose a spot
We will be honest if a spot will not work, and help find another. What matters most:
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
- What’s available on the pitch
Aldersbrook 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.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Aldersbrook questions
Could you trade in Valentines Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you trade at school fairs around Aldersbrook?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
What does the pitch need?
Send us the pitch details, and we will check it works.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.
Can the van park on grass?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Visitors will appreciate cover near the hatch.

Planning help
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Cold food stalls are fine on a hot day, but hot food is a draw when it’s cool. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
