No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
- A lit spot for evening service
As a London location, Greenhill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

Common questions in Greenhill
Can the van park in Northwick Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Which station is closest to Greenhill?
Harrow-on-the-Hill station, in Greenhill itself.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can staff have lunch from the van?
Yes, and families love joining in.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
The process
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. In Greenhill, the garden season runs from late May, with light until about 8:55pm, to late September, around 7:05pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Give us a contact for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
