Step by step
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. Summer fêtes in Church End have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:20pm at midsummer, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:05pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- 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.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Church End: your questions answered
Do you trade at school fairs around Church End?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
What’s the nearest station to Church End?
The closest is Harlesden station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Can you cater for helpers?
Yes, alongside public trading or on its own.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
About the food
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
