Westbourne: your questions answered
Could you trade in Emslie Horniman's Pleasance?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first.
Can you serve after a service at St Stephen's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Can you park at our house?
It depends on the drive and the access. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we will advise.
How far ahead should we book a party?
Summer weekends go first. Ask about your date.
Do you do street parties?
Yes, where the council allows it. Check your council’s rules on road closures and vehicles early.

The process
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. At midsummer, it is light in Westbourne until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long 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 will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Plan where the queue will stand

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Planning the van’s spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A spot near your guests
Westbourne is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Any minimum charge
- How long we serve
- The day of the week
- Parking and the way in
Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Expected numbers
- Where the event is
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A picture of where the van would go
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, use our quote form.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A venue plus caterer can be expensive. With a van, home becomes the venue. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
