Fish and chip van hire in The Burroughs, cooked to order
If the van can park there, we can fry there: a driveway, a car park, a yard or a firm field in and around The Burroughs. Popular choices include haddock and chips, sausage and chips and gravy, and we are frequently booked for company team days and community events and fairs.
Around The Burroughs, most London bookings are at homes with a drive, workplaces with a car park, schools and halls. The thing to plan is where the van stops, so let us know about off-street space or permits. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Planning the van’s spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A short walk from the party
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
As a London location, The Burroughs is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

How we price a fish and chip van
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The number of meals
- Parking and the way in
- Whether a minimum applies
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Where the event is
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Dietary needs, with numbers
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Barbecues cook in batches, and someone has to stand over the grill. With a van, the host gets to enjoy the day. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.
Why The Burroughs hosts choose us
- A van that becomes part of the event

Bringing the van to The Burroughs
The Burroughs is about 2 miles south-east of Burnt Oak, in Greater London. Bookings in The Burroughs come in all shapes and sizes, but the plan is always the same: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. We cover all 764 towns and villages across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from The Burroughs to London (8 miles away).
For guests coming by train, the closest railway station is Hendon station, roughly 0.8 miles south-west of the centre. Churches such as St Mary's Church rarely have room for a van, but a hall or home close by usually does.
We serve events across the NW4, NW9 and NW11 postcode area and the streets around it. Local streets include Bell Lane, Eaton Road and Lodge Road; an event on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. Being close to the A41, The Burroughs is simple for us to get to for your event. Close by, we cover events in Hendon (1 mile south-east), Colindale (1 mile west), Brent Cross (1 mile south-east), West Hendon (1 mile south-west) and The Hyde (1 mile south-west). Further out, we also take the van to London (8 miles south-east), City of Westminster (6 miles south-east), Marylebone (6 miles south-east), Kensington (6 miles south), St Pancras (6 miles south-east) and Shoreditch (8 miles south-east).
A little further out are St Andrew's Hospital (1.9 miles south) and Municipal Borough of Hendon (within half a mile south-west). The countryside around The Burroughs includes Parliament Hill and Darland's Lake.
- Local schools include Brampton College (within half a mile east) and Kisharon College (less than half a mile north-east)
- Pubs nearby include The Claddagh Ring pub (within half a mile north-east)

- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Your questions about a fish and chip van in The Burroughs
Is parking a problem for the van in The Burroughs?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Can the van park in Hendon Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.

That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Is a chip van good for a large crowd?
Frequently, yes. Give us your numbers and service time, and we will plan it with you.
What happens when we hire the van?
We arrive with the van, fry everything to order, and serve at the time you want.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
Organising for someone else?
Having the party at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
