A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with cooking a barbecue yourself, the host is not stuck cooking all afternoon. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
Why book with us
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Events in South Harrow and across Greater London
- Everything cooked to order at your event
See how we price and the cost guide.
What happens on the day
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. In South Harrow, a June party has light until about 9:20pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- First, tell us about your party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Planning help
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
About the food
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
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.
Occasions we serve in South Harrow
Everyone from toddlers to grandparents enjoys it, which makes it perfect for family celebrations.
The van suits big events and small ones. Common bookings include:
- Family celebrations after a christening

A green space like Northwick Park is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, typically the council’s.
Before you book anyone
- What the price includes, item by item
- What happens if plans change
- How many hours the van serves
- Whether VAT is included
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Make sure the van can park legally
- A photo of the parking spot helps
- Arrange an alternative if needed
When everyone has eaten, we pack up and leave the drive tidy.
Finish with the birthday cake.

Before you choose a 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:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
As a London location, South Harrow is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
