Takeaway run or book a van?

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Perfect for your party in Belsize Park

With a van, the host gets to enjoy the party. It’s also a bit of fun.

We are booked for all kinds of occasions in Belsize Park and nearby. Some of the most common are:

Questions from Belsize Park

Which station is closest to Belsize Park?

South Hampstead station, about 0.7 miles west of the centre.

Is parking a problem for the van in Belsize Park?

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

How fast is service?

That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.

Is grass a problem?

Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

Do we need to provide anything?

A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.

How long does set-up take?

We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.

What food do you serve?

The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.

Do we need to provide anything?

Mostly just a good parking spot. Mention power and water and we will confirm the rest.

Prices and what affects them

Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:

  • The minimum booking
  • The date and time of year
  • How many people are eating
  • Service time

Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.

Getting an accurate quote

When you contact us, it helps to tell us:

  • A picture of the parking spot
  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • Anything awkward about the way in
  • Where you’d like the van to go

Working with your venue

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.

If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

What happens on the day

A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. At midsummer, it is light in Belsize Park until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

  1. First, the plan: what, where and what time.
  2. We come back with availability and a clear price.
  3. We agree exactly where the van parks.
  4. On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
  5. We leave the spot as we found it.

Getting ready for the day

  • Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
  • Confirm the van is allowed on site
  • Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

How to get a price

Looking after everyone

With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:

  • Check the street’s parking rules
  • Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
  • Arrange an alternative if needed
  • Flag any coeliac guests

For a children’s party, serve food about an hour in, before the cake.

Seats or a few tables help people eat comfortably.
