Common questions in Aldersbrook
What about parking in Aldersbrook?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Gabriel: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Do you do street parties?
Yes, with the council’s permission for the road closure. Mention the van in your application.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.

If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.
What a fish and chip van costs
We will give you a clear quote. What affects it most:

Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:

- A photo of the parking spot helps
Have bins and napkins by the van.
Seats or a few tables help people eat comfortably.
