Takeaway run or book a 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.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Hampstead Garden Suburb?
Cakes and sandwiches are popular, but hot food brings people in on cooler days. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.

Questions from Hampstead Garden Suburb
Could you trade in Lyttelton Playing Fields?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Which station is closest to Hampstead Garden Suburb?
Brent Cross West station, about 2.1 miles south-west of the centre.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac visitors when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
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.
How it works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your visitors, and we agree exactly where before the day. Summer fêtes in Hampstead Garden Suburb have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September the light goes at about 7:05pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
