Bayswater questions
Can you serve after a service at Essex Street Chapel?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What about parking in Bayswater?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
Can you feed a lot of people?
It depends on numbers and timings. A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Bayswater.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.

Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How long we serve
- Distance and any road charges
- How many people are eating
- Whether a minimum applies
Larger groups typically cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A picture of the space and the way in
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The address or venue name
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll check availability right away.
Cannot 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.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Space, access and the venue
If a spot isn’t suitable, we will tell you. The main points are:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A spot near your guests
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.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
