Planning an event in Alperton?

Organising for someone else?

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

How our fish and chip van for events works in Alperton

Send us the event details and the pitch information, and we’ll tell you quickly whether we can come. Whether it is community open days and school fairs and sports days, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas.

In Alperton, community events include street parties, school fairs and markets. Organisers normally need council permission for public spaces, and we need a pitch the van can reach. Everything is fried fresh at your event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Where the van can park in Alperton

If a spot is not suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:

  • Access that avoids crowds
  • A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
  • A wet-weather pitch on hard standing

Alperton is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How the day works

Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. For an evening event in Alperton, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.

  1. Send us your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check the route in and send a price.
  3. We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
  4. Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
  5. Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

How to prepare

  • Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
  • Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
  • Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
