Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A short walk from the party
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
As a London location, Maida Vale is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Questions from Maida Vale
What’s the nearest station to Maida Vale?
The closest is Kilburn High Road station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Could you trade in Emslie Horniman's Pleasance?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.

A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for staff are worth planning.

We will explain how it works when we quote.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
What can staff choose from?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.

What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of meals
- The menu and how many choices
- Service time
- Distance and any road charges
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- A picture of the space and the way in
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the event is
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Still finalising the details? No problem: tell us the basics about your staff event, and we will quote on that. To start, fill in our quote form.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. The van cooks on site. Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why Maida Vale hosts choose us
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- No kitchen needed
- All the chip-shop extras

Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
