FAQs for Mapesbury
Can the van park in St. Raphael's Edible Garden?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What about parking in Mapesbury?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
What about crew who don’t eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
Can the van come to Mapesbury?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Mapesbury and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can you feed supporting artists too?
Of course. Let us know total numbers.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

Working with your venue
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Mapesbury? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
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.

What a fish and chip van costs
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- Your choice of menu
- The date and time of year
- Distance and any road charges
- Parking and the way in
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The venue or postcode
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and we’ll reply with a quote. Just send us your details through our quote form.

- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
