Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.
Film set catering for your shoot in Wembley
The van needs level, firm ground at the unit base, and a route the van can manage. Whether it is outside broadcasts and ad shoots, we can cook cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
In Wembley, access to base can be tight, so tell us the route and any height limits. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Planning a shoot in Wembley
Wembley is about 5 miles west of Hampstead, in Greater London. Shoots in Wembley are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a parking spot and fresh frying on the day. We cover all 764 towns and villages across Greater London. Our nearest city page is London, about 10 miles away.
Among the historic houses close to Wembley are Northolt Manor (3.4 miles west) and Headstone Manor (3.5 miles north-west). Period locations like these normally keep vehicles well away from the house, so agree the base early. With the A404 and A4088 nearby, Wembley is easy for the van and the trucks to reach.
We cover shoots in every part of HA9, HA0, HA1 and NW9 and the streets around it. From Market Way, London Road and Queenscourt or anywhere nearby, we can park up and fry there. Being close to the A404 and A4088, Wembley is simple for us to get to. We also bring the van to shoots in Wembley Park (1 mile east), Preston (1 mile north), Mapesbury (1 mile south-east), Tokyngton (1 mile south-east) and Stonebridge Park (1 mile south-east). Further out, we also take the van to London (10 miles south-east), City of Westminster (7 miles south-east), Marylebone (7 miles south-east), Kensington (6 miles south-east), St Pancras (8 miles east) and Shoreditch (10 miles east).
A little further out are London Designer Outlet (0.5 miles south-east) and Middlesex (1.8 miles south-east). Within reach you will find Masons Field and Castlebar Hill.
- Local schools include Preston Manor School (less than half a mile north-east)
- Pubs nearby include Hilton London Wembley pub (0.5 miles south-east)
What a fish and chip van costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- How long we serve
- The minimum booking
- The date and time of year
- The menu and how many choices
The cost per head generally 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.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- A photo of the parking spot
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Any dietary needs and allergies
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, use our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Organising a club, school or community event in Wembley? 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.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.

Common questions in Wembley
Is parking a problem for the van in Wembley?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
Which station is closest to Wembley?
The closest is North Wembley station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
Can you park at the unit base?
Yes, wherever locations agree.
Do you cover Wembley?
Yes, we do. Wembley is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
What if we only have street parking?
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.
How the day works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Winter shoots near Wembley chase the light, which goes at about 3:55pm in December.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Have a level parking spot ready
Ask for a quote
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.

Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- The location’s agreement
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
As a London location, Wembley is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
From the hatch
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Crew lunches
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Many locations are miles from shops. The van solves that. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Why us?
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Hot food handed straight over
- Events in Wembley and across Greater London
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
Read our pricing and the cost guide.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Agree how the base is left
- Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
- Put allergy details in writing
- Give us a contact for call-time changes
We clear up quickly after lunch.
Cover near the hatch helps on wet days.
