- Your date and serving time

How our party fish and chip van works in Aldwych
Everything is cooked as people come up, rather than sitting on a buffet table all afternoon. Whether it’s street parties and neighbourhood events and milestone birthdays, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, cod and chips and pie and chips for your guests.
Most parties in Aldwych are at home, and in London that usually means a drive or street parking. A drive is ideal; otherwise, check what’s allowed on the street. A photo helps. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Common questions in Aldwych
What’s the nearest station to Aldwych?
The closest is London Charing Cross station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Is parking a problem for the van in Aldwych?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the house, and we’ll confirm what we need.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Where the van can park in Aldwych
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Access wide and high enough for the van
Aldwych is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Organising a club, school or community event in Aldwych? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
It is worth telling the neighbours.
Somewhere to sit makes eating easier.
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Aldwych?
For a relaxed celebration, a fish and chip van is a great choice in Aldwych. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
