Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:

A gazebo by the van keeps the queue dry.
How our fish and chip van hire works in Little Stanmore
You can keep it simple or plan it carefully: a van that serves as people arrive, or service at a set time. We’ll recommend what fits. Popular choices include cod and chips, curry sauce and pie and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater festive get-togethers and staff thank-you lunches.
In a London neighbourhood like Little Stanmore, the van usually parks on a drive, in a car park or yard, or on a street with the right permission. Parking is the main thing to plan, so let us know about off-street space or permits. You will know what’s included before booking: the date, the service time and the menu.

A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Occasions we serve in Little Stanmore

Planning a chip van in Little Stanmore
Little Stanmore is about 1 mile south-east of Stanmore, in Greater London. From the centre of Little Stanmore to the outskirts, the service works the same way: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. We cover 764 places across Greater London. Our nearest city page is London, about 11 miles away.
Nearby historic houses include Headstone Manor (3.1 miles west). Historic venues frequently limit vehicles, so ask early if you are booking one. If you’re gathering after a service at a church like Church of St Lawrence, a nearby hall car park or drive suits the van.
We take the van to events all over the HA8 and HA7 postcode area and the streets around it. Your event could be at a house on Mead Road, Tenby Road and Bacon Lane or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere for the van. If your venue is just outside Little Stanmore, we also cover Canons Park (1 mile north-west), Edgware (1 mile north-east), Burnt Oak (1 mile east), The Hale (1 mile north-east) and Broadfields Estate (2 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover London (11 miles south-east), City of Westminster (8 miles south-east), Marylebone (8 miles south-east), Kensington (8 miles south-east), St Pancras (9 miles south-east) and Shoreditch (10 miles south-east).

- Local schools include The Northgate School (0.5 miles east)
- Pubs nearby include Railway Hotel (0.5 miles north-east)
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.

Common questions in Little Stanmore
Which station is closest to Little Stanmore?
Mill Hill Broadway station, about 1.6 miles east of the centre.
Is parking a problem for the van in Little Stanmore?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
Can we choose cod or haddock?
Both are on our menu; we’ll agree the choice when we quote.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.
Can fish and chips be the only food?
It is a full meal on its own. You can add your own desserts if you like.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Is a chip van good for a large crowd?
That depends on how many and how quickly. Staggering groups and keeping the menu short both help.
How the day works
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. Evening events need a little planning for light: around Little Stanmore, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
