How our party fish and chip van works in Dollis Hill
Everything is cooked as people come up, not left out on a table for hours. We serve sausage and chips, gravy and pie and chips, and we are frequently booked for christenings and naming days and engagement parties.
Most parties in Dollis Hill are at home, and in London that usually means a drive or street parking. If you have a drive, the van can often go there; if not, check the street’s parking rules. Send us a photo. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

What a fish and chip van costs
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Your choice of menu
- How many people are eating
- Distance and any road charges
Larger groups typically cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A picture of the parking spot
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Dietary needs, with numbers
To get a price, use our quote form. Give us the details of your party, and we’ll check the date and send a price.
Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Put allergy details in writing
Keep the queue away from the road.
A few lights around the van look great.
The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Step by step
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. At midsummer, it’s light in Dollis Hill until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
How to prepare

- Share the timings for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
How to get a price

Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
As a London location, Dollis Hill 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’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

FAQs for Dollis Hill
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Michael: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Could you trade in Gladstone Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
When should we book for a summer party?
As early as you can for summer weekends. Ask about your date.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
What does the van need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
Can the van park on my drive?
That depends on the space and the route in. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we’ll tell you honestly.
