How our party fish and chip van works in Colindale
There is no need for a venue: a chip van on the drive turns your home into the venue. For family reunions and leaving parties, we can cook cod and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas.
Throwing a party in Colindale? A van means no cooking for you, at home, at a hall or at a club. Mention any parking restrictions. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

How it works
You will know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first guests wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. At midsummer, it is light in Colindale until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

Planning help
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. A van is designed for exactly this.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
A chip van compared with other options
Ordering in for a crowd means long waits. A van fries on the spot. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
What you get with us
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Colindale
Can the van park in Sunny Hill Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to Colindale?
Hendon station, about 1 mile south-east of the centre.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Can you come to a street party?
Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Tell the council about the van.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options before booking.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Flat, firm ground for the van
As a London location, Colindale is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
What we serve
- Chips
- Sausage and chips
- Curry sauce
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips

- Gravy

For planners, venues and organisers
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
How we price a fish and chip van for your party
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- The date and time of year
- The minimum booking
- The number of meals
- How long we serve
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Where the event is
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Expected numbers
- The spot you have in mind for the van
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you are ready, use our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Show us where the van would go
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Check the street’s parking rules
Keep the queue away from the road.
Your own cake makes the perfect finish.
