Fresh fish and chips in Northolt
How our party fish and chip van works in Northolt
A chip van works for birthdays, garden parties and family celebrations. It’s food every generation enjoys. Whether it’s anniversaries and engagement parties and children’s parties, we can cook cod and chips, haddock and chips and gravy and more.
Most parties in Northolt are at home, and in London that typically means a drive or street parking. If you have a drive, the van can frequently go there; if not, check the street’s parking rules. A photo helps. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

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.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Show us where the van would go
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Count children separately
Have bins and napkins by the van.
A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.
How the day works
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. For a late-May party in Northolt, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. After dark, light the area around the van.
