Planning a chip van in Dollis Hill
Dollis Hill is about 1 mile north-east of Neasden, in Greater London.

Dollis Hill is one of 764 places in Greater London where we bring the van. You can also see our page for London, about 7 miles away.
Thinking of using Gladstone Park? Parks typically need the owner’s permission, frequently the council’s, before a catering van can park or trade. PTAs at schools such as Our Lady of Grace Catholic Junior School frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days.

Dollis Hill questions
Can the van park in Gladstone Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Is parking a problem for the van in Dollis Hill?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
What can guests choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
