What affects the price in Queen's Park

Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:

  • The day of the week
  • The number of meals
  • How long we serve
  • Cod, haddock or both

Larger groups typically cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

What we need to know

You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:

  • Roughly how many people, including children
  • A photo of the space and the way in
  • The date and when you’d like to eat
  • Where you’d like the van to go

We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, use our quote form.

Christmas party fish and chips in Queen's Park, cooked to order

Family get-togethers over the festive season can use a van too, if the date suits. We’re frequently asked to cater festive family gatherings and festive gatherings after Christmas, serving haddock and chips, gravy and sausage and chips.

Around Queen's Park, a Christmas booking needs a lit, off-road spot. In London, access needs planning, as December is busy on the roads. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.

Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

How it works

On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. It gets dark in Queen's Park by about 3:55pm at Christmas; choose a lit spot near the door for the van.

  1. Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
  2. A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
  3. A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
  4. We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
  5. Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

How to prepare

  • Name one person we can call on the day
  • Tell us when you want to eat
  • Clear the route for the van

What the van needs

Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:

  • Flat, firm ground for the van
  • Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
  • Lighting nearby for evening events

As a London location, Queen's Park 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 you book.

What we serve

  • Gravy
  • Cod and chips
  • Mushy peas
  • Sausage and chips
  • Curry sauce
  • Haddock and chips
  • Pie and chips

Working with your venue

Hosting at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we will let you know if the van will fit.

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.

Planning a Christmas party in Queen's Park

Queen's Park is about 2 miles south-west of Hampstead, in Greater London. Give us the address of your Christmas party in Queen's Park, and we’ll plan access and set-up before the day. Queen's Park is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover.

A Christmas fair at West Kilburn Baptist Church is just the kind of event a chip van suits. A winter fair at a school like St Luke's CofE Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular.

Wherever your Christmas party is in NW6, W9 and W10, we can bring the van to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. From Kempe Road, Peach Road and Parry Road or a nearby road, we will bring the van to you. We also bring the van to Christmas parties in Kilburn (1 mile north), Kensal Rise (1 mile west), Kensal Town (1 mile south-west), Brondesbury (1 mile north) and Kensal Green (1 mile west). Within a short drive, we also cover London (5 miles south-east), City of Westminster (3 miles south-east), Marylebone (3 miles south-east), St Pancras (4 miles east), Shoreditch (5 miles east) and Walthamstow (9 miles north-east).

Well-known places in the area include Montfichet's Tower (4.6 miles east) and Brent Museum and Archives (1.4 miles north-west). Green spaces nearby include Greville Place nature reserve and Primrose Hill.

  • Nearby schools include Maida Vale School (less than half a mile south-east) and St Augustine's Church of England High School (less than half a mile east)
  • Nearby, you will find The Brondesbury Arms (within half a mile east)

Food your guests will love

Gravy

In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.

Sausage and chips

Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan.

Planning for dietary needs

We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:

  • Let us know about coeliac disease
  • Book as early as possible for December
  • Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
  • Send allergies to us in writing

Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.

Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.
