A closer look at the menu

Cod and chips

Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.

Pie and chips

A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.

Fish and chip van hire for your event in Willesden Green

There’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. It needs a level, firm spot to park and a clear way in, which suits drives, yards, car parks and firm lawns. On the menu are curry sauce, cod and chips and pie and chips, and we are frequently booked for fish and chip days at care homes and gatherings after a funeral.

In a London neighbourhood like Willesden Green, the van typically parks on a drive, in a car park or yard, or on a street with the right permission. The thing to plan is where the van stops, so let us know about off-street space or permits. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Working with your venue

If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.

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.

Allergies and dietary needs

A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:

  • Count children separately
  • Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
  • Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
  • Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form

After service, we pack up.

Plan cover near the hatch if rain is possible.

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Willesden Green

What about parking in Willesden Green?

It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.

What’s the nearest station to Willesden Green?

The closest is Kensal Rise station, roughly 0.7 miles away.

Is the food cooked at the event?

Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.

Does a chip van work for big events?

That depends on how many and how quickly. Staggering groups and keeping the menu short both help.

Cod or haddock?

We serve cod and haddock; tell us which you’d like for your event.

What can guests choose from?

Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.

Do you do anything other than fish?

We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.

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.
