FAQs for Rowley Green
Which station is closest to Rowley Green?
The closest is Elstree & Borehamwood station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
Is parking a problem for the van in Rowley Green?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Do you come to Rowley Green?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Rowley Green and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

Space, access and the venue
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Information about power and water
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
As a London location, Rowley 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
Step by step

- It starts with your event and pitch details.
- You get our pitch needs and a quick answer on availability.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on the pitch.
- We cook fresh and serve through the day.
- We clear the pitch when the event closes.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
