Party fish and chip van in Kingsbury, fried fresh

With a chip van, the host gets to enjoy the party too. The van parks, the fryers go on and the food goes out hot. For family reunions and anniversaries and engagement parties, we will put together a menu of gravy, pie and chips and mushy peas and more.

Planning a London party in Kingsbury? A chip van keeps you out of the kitchen, at home, at a hall or at a club. Tell us about parking permits. Everything is fried fresh at your party, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

How the day works

The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. For a late-May party in Kingsbury, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:20pm. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.

  1. First, tell us about your party.
  2. You get an availability check and a clear quote.
  3. We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
  4. We cook to order on the day for your guests.
  5. We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.

Preparing for the day

  • Get permission for the van from the venue
  • Tell us when you want to eat
  • Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

How to get a price

Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, fill in our quote form.

Planning the van’s spot

A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:

  • Space for people to queue at the hatch
  • Lighting nearby for evening events
  • A short walk from the party

As a London location, Kingsbury is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we serve

  • Gravy
  • Cod and chips
  • Mushy peas
  • Chips
  • Haddock and chips
  • Curry sauce
  • Pie and chips
  • Sausage and chips

A fish and chip van or other catering?

A hog roast is one dish, while a chip van gives people a choice. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.

How we price a fish and chip van for your party

We will give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:

  • The day of the week
  • Parking and the way in
  • Any minimum charge
  • The menu and how many choices

Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.

Getting an accurate quote

The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Try to include:

  • Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
  • A photo of the parking spot
  • Dietary needs, with numbers
  • Rough numbers for adults and children

Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, use our quote form.

Working with your venue

Hosting at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.

For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Common questions in Kingsbury

We’re gathering after a service at Church of the Holy Innocents: 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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.

Is parking a problem for the van in Kingsbury?

London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.

What do we need to supply?

Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.

How fast is service?

It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.

Do you bring everything you need?

We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.

Will the van fit on our drive?

Typically, if the drive is level and firm and the van can get in. Send a photo of the drive and the way in.

Can you park on the road outside?

Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.

What happens if it rains?

We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.

About the food

Haddock and chips

Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.

Gravy

Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

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 usually simpler.

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
