About our fish and chip van for events in Harrow Weald
A van suits shows and field events, if the ground is firm enough for vehicles. Typical bookings include charity fundraisers and community events and crew and volunteer catering, with cod and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
In Harrow Weald, community events include street parties, school fairs and markets. Organisers normally need council permission for public spaces, and the van needs a pitch it can reach. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do.

Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
- Somewhere firm if it rains
- Access that avoids crowds
As a London location, Harrow Weald is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.
