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 generally simpler.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.

FAQs for Brondesbury
What about parking in Brondesbury?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
What’s the nearest station to Brondesbury?
Brondesbury station, in Brondesbury itself.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
What about crew who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The menu and how many choices
- The length of service
- Access and parking
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
