Common questions in Connaught Village
What’s the nearest station to Connaught Village?
The closest is London Paddington station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Could you trade in Hyde Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Do you trade at schools?
We do. We’ll agree access before the children arrive.
