What the van needs

- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
As a London location, Greenford is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

Greenford: your questions answered
What about parking in Greenford?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
Can the van park in Northala Fields?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first.
Which fish do you use?
Both are on our menu; tell us which you’d like for your event.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Next to a hog roast, a fish and chip van gives people a choice of fish, sausage or pie, which helps if some guests do not eat pork. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
Why Greenford hosts choose us
- Events in Greenford and across Greater London
- A van that becomes part of the event

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
How the day works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. Evening events need a little planning for light: in Greenford, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Plan where the queue will stand

What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan.
Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
Having the party at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Confirm allergies by email
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Have a back-up for anyone who can’t eat from the van
Fish and chips is at its best fresh from the fryer, so we fry to order as the queue moves.
A chalkboard by the hatch with the menu keeps the queue moving.
