Party fish and chip van in North Harrow
The process
Here’s how the day typically runs: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. Sunset in North Harrow drops to about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Get permission for the van from the venue

Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
A buffet is easy but forgettable. The van becomes part of the party. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why book our van in North Harrow
- No kitchen needed
- Quick service from the hatch
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
Take a look at our pricing or the cost guide.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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 is crisp.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
What else we do in North Harrow
North Harrow: your questions answered
Which station is closest to North Harrow?
Harrow-on-the-Hill station, about 1.2 miles east of the centre.
Could you trade in Headstone Manor Recreation Ground?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
Can you park at our house?
Typically, if the drive is level and firm and the van can get in. Send a photo of the drive and the way in.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Before you choose a 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:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
North Harrow is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
