Questions from Primrose Hill
What’s the nearest station to Primrose Hill?
The closest is Kentish Town West station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Can the van park in Regent's Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What can residents choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Are visitors included?
Of course. Just include them in your numbers.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your care home visit and we’ll send a quote.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
