- With the serving side away from windows
- Light near the van after dark
- A route in without tight gates
As a London location, Mapesbury 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.

What comes out of the fryer

Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.

Takeaway run or book a 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.
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 generally the easier option.
What happens on the day
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your care home visit. With darkness by about 3:55pm in December, winter van visits in Mapesbury suit lunchtime, while summer visits can run into the evening, with light until about 9:20pm.

Wembley Stadium station, in Mapesbury itself.

How we price a fish and chip van visit
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Any minimum charge
- Service time
- Parking and the way in
- How far we travel
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Where you’d like the van to go

Planners, venues and businesses
