Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Confirm allergies by email
- Choose a lit spot for the van
A gazebo or covered doorway near the hatch helps on a wet night.
Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.

Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
As a London location, Pinner is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

What comes out of the fryer
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 is hot, crisp and generous.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Planning a Christmas party in Pinner
Pinner is about 1 mile north-east of Ruislip, in Greater London. Bookings in Pinner come in all shapes and sizes, but it always starts the same way: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. Pinner is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover. Our bookings stretch from Pinner to London (14 miles away).
A winter fair at a school like West Lodge Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. Christmas fairs at a church such as Christian Science Church can book the van as a hot-food stall.

How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. An afternoon Christmas party in Pinner can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 3:55pm, so put the van where there’s good light.
- 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.

Planning help
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
