Prices and what affects them
We’ll give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- How far we travel
- Parking and the way in
- Service time
- The menu and how many choices
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The address or venue name
- Allergies and diets you know about
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, fill in our quote form.
Working with your venue
Hosting at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Planning a chip van in Kingsbury
Kingsbury is about 2 miles north-east of Wembley, in Greater London. For events in Kingsbury, we plan around your venue and timings: a quote, a parking spot and fresh frying on the day.

Kingsbury questions
What about parking in Kingsbury?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
Can you serve after a service at Church of the Holy Innocents?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Cod or haddock?
Both are on our menu; tell us which you’d like for your event.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
How the day works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Evening events need a little planning for light: around Kingsbury, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- 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.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
Ask for a quote
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
