Planning an event in White City?
Step by step
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. In White City, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Tell us when you want to eat

About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

We can serve an event on streets such as Bard Road, Wood Lane and Abdale Road or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere for the van. Nearby, we also serve events in Shepherd's Bush (1 mile south), Notting Dale (1 mile east), North Kensington (1 mile north), Notting Hill (1 mile east) and Kensal Town (1 mile north-east). Further out, we also take the van to London (6 miles east), City of Westminster (3 miles east), Marylebone (3 miles east), St Pancras (5 miles east), Shoreditch (6 miles east) and Walthamstow (10 miles north-east).
A little further out are Westfield London (less than half a mile south) and Princess Louise Hospital (0.5 miles north). Within reach you’ll find The Long Water and Greville Place nature reserve.

Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Fewer choices mean faster service
It helps to have bins and napkins by the van.
A chalkboard by the hatch with the menu keeps the queue moving.
Common questions in White City
Can the van park in Hammersmith Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
We are gathering after a service at St Michael and St George: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Which fish do you use?
We serve cod and haddock; we will agree the choice when we quote.
How does fish and chip van hire work?
We arrive with the van, fry everything to order, and serve when you are ready to eat.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
What the van needs
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A short walk from the party
As a London location, White City is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Barbecues cook in batches, and someone has to stand over the grill. With a van, nobody misses the event. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.
