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:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
Harrow on the Hill is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.
How we price a fish and chip van for your party
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Service time
- Access and parking
- The minimum booking
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A picture of where the van would go
- Any dietary needs and allergies
To get a price, send us your details through our quote form. Give us the details of your party, and we will check the date and send a price.
How it works
Here’s how the day generally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. Sunset in Harrow on the Hill is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
