Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Hampstead Norreys
Can you come to a school fair in Hampstead Norreys?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
How far is Hampstead Norreys from London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you do crew food?
Yes, alongside public trading or on its own.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Compared with a barbecue run by volunteers, a chip van frees your helpers. Larger groups normally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
