FAQs for Temple
Is parking a problem for the van in Temple?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
What’s the nearest station to Temple?
Temple has its own station: London Blackfriars station.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Space, access and the venue
If a spot isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another. What matters most:
- A spot near your guests
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
As a London location, Temple 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 picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
What happens on the day
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. Sunset in Temple is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
