Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Organising for someone else?
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Neasden? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
The process
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. For an evening event in Neasden, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Planning help
Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- A queue area clear of rides and games
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
Neasden 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- How easy the site is to reach
- How many people are eating
- Service time
- Any minimum charge
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Where the van would park
- Allergies and diets you know about
The quickest way to a quote is to fill in our quote form. Tell us about your event in Neasden, and we’ll check the date and send a price.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
- Arrange bins and waste collection
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
Put bins near the queue.
A sign at the entrance tells visitors hot food is available.
