About our party fish and chip van in Greenhill
Guests who do not know each other end up chatting in the queue. For milestone birthdays and anniversaries and engagement parties, we will put together a menu of gravy, sausage and chips and curry sauce and more.
In Greenhill, a party at home is the usual choice, and parking is the question. If you have a drive, the van can often go there; if not, check the street’s parking rules. Send us a picture. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Greenhill: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for the van in Greenhill?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
Can the van park in Northwick Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before booking.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
How early do summer dates go?
As early as you can for summer weekends. Ask about your date.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
What comes out of the fryer
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 is hearty and filling, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Mention the van to neighbours
- Arrange an alternative if needed
After service, we pack up.
Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.
For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.

How we price a fish and chip van for your party
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How easy the site is to reach
- Your choice of menu
- Service time
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The address or venue name
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Allergies and diets you know about
Send us the date, the address or HA1 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and we’ll reply with a quote. To get started, fill in our quote form.
The process
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. At midsummer, it’s light in Greenhill 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.
- First, tell us about your party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Get permission for the van from the venue
Ask for a quote
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can fill in our quote form.
