Planning an event in Hampstead Garden Suburb?
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.
Party fish and chip van in Hampstead Garden Suburb, fried fresh
Sausage and chips covers the children and anyone who doesn’t want fish, so nobody needs a separate meal. Typical bookings include children’s parties and big birthdays, with gravy, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
Most parties in Hampstead Garden Suburb are at home, and in London that normally means a drive or street parking. If you have a drive, the van can frequently go there; if not, check the street’s parking rules. Send us a picture. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before booking.

Common questions in Hampstead Garden Suburb
Which station is closest to Hampstead Garden Suburb?
Brent Cross West station, about 2.1 miles south-west of the centre.
Could you trade in Lyttelton Playing Fields?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the house, and we will confirm what we need.
Can you do something for the children?
Most children go for sausage and chips. Tell us how many children to expect.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
