Hendon: your questions answered
Can you serve after a service at Christ Church Hendon?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is parking a problem for the van in Hendon?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
When should we book for a summer party?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so ask early.
Do you do street parties?
Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Mention the van in your application.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
Can you park at our house?
It depends on the drive and the access. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we’ll advise.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
As a London location, Hendon is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Working with your venue
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A venue plus caterer can be expensive. With a van, home becomes the venue. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
