About our fish and chip van for events in Pinner Green

Street parties and school fairs in Pinner Green are a great fit for a chip van. Everything is fried fresh at your event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

Pinner Green questions
Can the van park in Eastcote House Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What about parking in Pinner Green?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Does the batter contain gluten?
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.
Do you pay a pitch fee?
We’ll talk it through when you send the details, and we will agree terms.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for visitors.
What about visitors who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Working with your venue
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.

About the food
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
- Details of any power or water on site
- A queue area clear of rides and games
As a London location, Pinner Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

How the day works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your event. Summer fêtes in Pinner Green have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:25pm 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.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, 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
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
Getting a price
