Planners, venues and businesses
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
The process
Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. Sunset in Willesden Green is about 7:05pm in late September and about 3:55pm in December; make sure older guests have a well-lit route to the van.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for family and friends.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

Common questions in Willesden Green
What’s the nearest station to Willesden Green?
The closest is Kensal Rise station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Can the van park in Roundwood Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How many people should we cater for?
Give us your best estimate, and we’ll firm it up nearer the day.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Willesden Green.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Takeaway run or book a 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.
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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
