What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
The process
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. Garden visits in Staples Corner work best between late spring and early autumn, with sunset about 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day

Planning help
Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Staples Corner
Can the van park in Clarefield Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Which station is closest to Staples Corner?
Staples Corner has its own station: Brent Cross West station.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Can you do smaller portions for residents?
We will plan portions with the home.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac residents in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Before you choose a spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- Access the van can manage
- Light near the van after dark
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
As a London location, Staples Corner is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
What we serve
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
- Mushy peas

For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
