Harrow Weald questions
Can you serve after a service at St Michael & All Angels?
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’ll gather.
What’s the nearest station to Harrow Weald?
The closest is Headstone Lane station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
How quickly can you come?
Ask as soon as you have the date. We will tell you right away whether we are available.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
Do you come to Harrow Weald?
We do. Harrow Weald is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Allergies and dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Plan seating for older guests
- Check the hall or venue allows a catering van
- Name a contact for the day who is not close family
- Check the hall has an urn
Give us a contact for the day who isn’t a close family member.
Photos or a memory book give people something to share.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
