A chip van near Connaught Village
How our party fish and chip van works in Connaught Village
It is a treat that feels special without being formal: paper portions of fish and chips in the garden. On the menu are sausage and chips, curry sauce and cod and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater birthday parties and neighbourhood get-togethers.
Most parties in Connaught Village are at home, and in London that typically means a drive or street parking. A drive is ideal; otherwise, check what’s allowed on the street. A picture helps. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do.

Planning a party in Connaught Village
Connaught Village is about 1 mile west of City of Westminster, in Greater London. Whether your party is in the middle of Connaught Village or on the outskirts, the service works the same way: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. Connaught Village is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover.
Parks such as Hyde Park normally need permission from the council or landowner for a catering van, so check first. After a christening at a church like Church of St John the Evangelist, a chip van at home is an easy way to feed family and friends.
We cover parties in every part of W1U, W1H and W2 and the streets around it. That could mean a party at a home on Craven Road, Harbet Road and Edgware Road, as long as there’s somewhere for the van. Connaught Village sits on or near the A40 and A402, which makes travel to your party easy. If your venue is just outside Connaught Village, we also cover Hyde Park Estate (1 mile west), Tyburn (1 mile south-east), Paddington (1 mile north-west), City of Westminster (1 mile east) and Paddington Green (1 mile north-west). Larger places within reach include London (3 miles east), Shoreditch (4 miles east), Walthamstow (8 miles north-east), Hoxton (4 miles east), Whitechapel (4 miles east) and Hampstead (3 miles north).
A little further out are Harrods (1 mile south) and Dunhill Museum & Archive (0.6 miles east). Within reach you will find The Long Water and Greville Place nature reserve.
- Local schools include International Community School (under half a mile north-west) and North Westminster Community School (0.5 miles north)
- Pubs nearby include Duke Of Kendal pub (under half a mile west)
- Parks and local facilities nearby include Royal Society of Medicine Library (0.8 miles east) and Westminster St James (1.3 miles east)

What else we do in Connaught Village
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Make sure the van can park legally
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Confirm allergies by email
With children, food about an hour in works well.
Put the menu up by the van.
Organising for someone else?
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

FAQs for Connaught Village
Is parking a problem for the van in Connaught Village?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St John the Evangelist: 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. Tell us where you will gather.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
Do you cover Connaught Village?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Connaught Village is within our area and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, use our quote form.
Step by step
You’ll know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. A summer party in Connaught Village stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
Ask for a quote
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can fill in our quote form.
Planning help
Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A short walk from the party
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
As a London location, Connaught Village 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’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
What we serve
- Chips
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Curry sauce
- Mushy peas
- Gravy
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
What affects the price in Connaught Village
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Parking and the way in
- The length of service
- Your choice of menu
- How many people are eating
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What to tell us
The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A photo of the parking spot
- Dietary needs, with numbers
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: tell us the basics about your party, and we will quote on that. Start when you are ready: fill in our quote form.
