Common questions in Chinbrook
Which station is closest to Chinbrook?
Chinbrook has its own station: Grove Park station.
We are gathering after a service at Jubilee International Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information.
Can you be flexible on the day?
We allow for it. We’ll agree a serving time and stay flexible.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your wake and we’ll send a quote.
Can you come to the house?
Often, yes. Tell us about parking at the house.

Where the van can park in Chinbrook
If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- A short walk from the party
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
As a London location, Chinbrook is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
From the hatch
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Gravy
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
