Fresh fish and chips in Queensbury
Party fish and chip van in Queensbury, fried fresh
We park on the drive or a firm spot near the party, with the serving hatch towards the garden. We are often asked to cater anniversary celebrations and summer garden parties, with sausage and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips.
Most parties in Queensbury are at home, and in London that generally 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 cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

FAQs for Queensbury
Is parking a problem for the van in Queensbury?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
What’s the nearest station to Queensbury?
The closest is Kenton station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
Can the van park on my drive?
It depends on the drive and the access. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Can you cook in the rain?
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.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
