Details that help
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Dietary needs, with numbers

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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 generally simpler.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and children love it.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Alperton: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Alperton?
Wembley Central station, about 0.8 miles north of the centre.
Could you trade in St. Raphael's Edible Garden?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
How much does a fish and chip van for the crew cost in Alperton?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Long shoots normally need a full catering unit. A van is great for short jobs and crew treats. 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 shoot.
