Questions from Harlesden
Which station is closest to Harlesden?

Can the van park in Roundwood Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.

Can you serve children?
Of course. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.

Can you come to our office Christmas party?
Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
When should we book for December?
As early as possible. Fridays in December book up first.

Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it is pork only. A chip van gives a choice. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.

Harlesden in December: what to know
Harlesden is about 4 miles west of City of Westminster, in Greater London. Around Harlesden, we park wherever there is level, firm ground, close to your guests. Harlesden is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Harlesden to London (about 7 miles away).
If you’re organising a Christmas fair for a school like John Keble CofE Primary School, hot fish and chips goes down well. A Christmas fair at Church of All Souls is just the kind of event a chip van suits.
We cover Christmas parties in every part of NW10, W3 and NW26 and the streets around it. Local streets include Fry Road, Wood Road and Park Road; a Christmas party on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.

We will give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- Distance and any road charges
- The number of meals
- The length of service

Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A short walk from the party
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
As a London location, Harlesden is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
