Questions from Brondesbury Park

Is parking a problem for the van in Brondesbury Park?

London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.

Can the van park in Preston Park?

Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.

What does it cost to hire the van?

It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.

What if the service runs late?

Yes. We serve when people are ready.

Can you serve children?

Of course. Children normally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.

Can you come to the house?

Yes, with a suitable spot for the van.

Can you park on the road outside?

It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

Do you cover Brondesbury Park?

We do. We serve events in Brondesbury Park and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.

Prices and what affects them

The price comes down to a few factors:

  • How easy the site is to reach
  • Travel, tolls and road charges
  • How many people are eating
  • Service time

Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your wake is.

Getting an accurate quote

The more we know about your wake, the better we can plan. Please include:

  • A picture of where the van would go
  • How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
  • Rough numbers for adults and children
  • Your date and serving time

Send us the date, the address or HA0 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and you’ll get a clear price. Just send us your details through our quote form.

Before you choose a spot

A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:

  • A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
  • A short walk from the party
  • Light near the van and the queue for evening service

As a London location, Brondesbury Park 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 will say what we think before you book.

From the hatch

  • Gravy
  • Mushy peas
  • Cod and chips

Planning for dietary needs

With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:

  • Check the hall or venue allows a catering van
  • Let us know of any allergies
  • Choose a friend to be our contact
  • Funeral directors can help with numbers

We serve when people are ready.

A favourite cake can be a lovely touch.

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. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

The process

We arrive on time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. Summer evenings in Brondesbury Park stay light until about 9:20pm, while winter afternoons darken by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting near the door.

  1. You share your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check access for the van and quote.
  3. We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
  4. Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
  5. Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

How to prepare

  • Have a level parking spot ready
  • Clear the route for the van
  • Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
