Planning the van’s spot

The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:

  • A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
  • A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
  • With the serving side away from windows

Alperton 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 you book.

From the hatch

  • Gravy
  • Sausage and chips
  • Haddock and chips
  • Mushy peas
  • Pie and chips

How we price a fish and chip van visit

Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:

  • How far we travel
  • Numbers
  • The minimum booking
  • How easy the site is to reach

The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

What we need to know

The more we know about your care home visit, the better we can plan. Try to include:

  • The address or venue name
  • Dietary needs, with numbers
  • A picture of the space and the way in
  • Your date and serving time

Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll check availability straight away.

The menu, dish by dish

Curry sauce

Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.

Gravy

Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.

Planning a van visit in Alperton

Alperton is about 2 miles north of Ealing, in Greater London. We cover Alperton as standard, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. Alperton is one of 764 places in Greater London where we bring the van. You can also see our page for London, about 9 miles away.

A care home summer fair, perhaps with a church like St James Church Alperton, is a good occasion for a van visit. Fox Wood is close by, a good starting point for a chat about days out.

For care home visits in HA0, UB6 and NW10, we just need to know where the van can park and a serving time. Your care home visit could be at a house on Lee Road, Marsh Road and Eagle Road, as long as there is somewhere for the van. Other places close to Alperton we cover include West Twyford (1 mile south-east), Tokyngton (1 mile north-east), Mapesbury (1 mile north-east), Stonebridge Park (1 mile east) and Park Royal (1 mile south-east). Within a short drive, we also cover London (9 miles east), City of Westminster (7 miles east), Marylebone (7 miles east), Kensington (5 miles south-east), St Pancras (8 miles east) and Shoreditch (10 miles east).

A little further out are Central Middlesex Hospital (1.5 miles south-east) and London Transport Museum Depot (2.6 miles south). The countryside around Alperton includes Castlebar Hill and Fox Wood.

Planning for dietary needs

We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:

  • Plan it with your catering manager
  • Plan portion sizes with us
  • Choose a time around meals and medication
  • Arrange texture-modified meals from your own kitchen

We arrive in good time to park and heat the fryers.

Seaside photos give people something to talk about.

Step by step

Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace. With darkness by about 3:55pm in December, winter van visits in Alperton suit lunchtime, while summer visits can run into the evening, with light until about 9:20pm.

  1. Send us your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check access for the van and quote.
  3. We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
  4. Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
  5. We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.

Getting ready for the day

  • Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
  • Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day

How to get a price

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. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.

For event organisers in Alperton

Organising a club, school or community event in Alperton? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.

If you’re 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.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

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.

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.

FAQs for Alperton

Can the van park in St. Raphael's Edible Garden?

Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.

Is parking a problem for the van in Alperton?

London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.

Do you do regular visits?

Tell us how frequently you’d like a visit.

How much space do you need?

Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.

What happens if it rains?

We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Residents will appreciate cover near the hatch.

Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?

Not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before you book.

Do you cover Alperton?

Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Alperton is within our area and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
