Christmas party fish and chips in West Hendon, cooked to order

About the food
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.

Common questions in West Hendon
What about parking in West Hendon?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Can the van park in West Hendon Playing Fields?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.

Food early on is normally wise, before the drinks really flow. For lunchtime, we’ll work to your break.

What about guests who don’t eat fish?

What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
How much is fish and chip van hire?

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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 usually simpler.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace. December in West Hendon means early darkness: the light goes at about 3:55pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
