How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your residents, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A level parking spot near the entrance
- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
- Lighting for later visits
As a London location, Golders Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Your kitchen could cook it, but a van makes it an event. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.
Why Golders Green hosts choose us
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- All the chip-shop extras
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- No kitchen needed
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
