Fish and chip van for events in Willesden Green, cooked to order
Few things draw a crowd at a fête or festival like the smell of fish and chips. A chip van gives organisers a hot-food trader that almost everyone wants. We serve sausage and chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce, and typical bookings are for community festivals and fish and chip supper nights.
In Willesden Green, community events include street parties, school fairs and markets. Public spaces typically need council permission, and the van needs a pitch it can reach. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with a barbecue run by volunteers, a chip van frees your helpers. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Why us?
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones

How it works
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your event. Summer fêtes in Willesden Green have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:20pm at midsummer, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:05pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue

DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Is parking a problem for the van in Willesden Green?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Do you do crew food?
Yes, alongside public trading or on its own.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you do school fairs and sports days?
We do. We’ll need a safe route onto the site away from children.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
