Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Kilburn
Is parking a problem for the van in Kilburn?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
We are gathering after a service at St Anne's and St Andrew's: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
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 tell you what we can offer.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Diets, allergies and planning
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Check the street’s parking rules
- Mention the van to neighbours
- Have a back-up for special diets
For a children’s party, serve food about an hour in, before the cake.
Finish with the birthday cake.
How it works
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can get on with your party in Kilburn. For a late-May party in Kilburn, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- It starts with your date, address and numbers.
- We check access for the van and send a quote.
- We arrive, park on the drive or agreed spot and set up.
- We serve hot from the hatch while the party carries on.
- We pack up when we’re done and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand

- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

How we price a fish and chip van for your party
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
- Parking and the way in
- The menu and how many choices
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Please include:
- The address or venue name
- A picture of where the van would go
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Expected numbers
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
