A fish and chip van or other catering?
A hog roast is pork only, while a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Looking after everyone
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Arrange an alternative if needed
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Send us a picture of the drive
- Check the street’s parking rules
After service, we pack up.
Seats or a few tables help people eat comfortably.
What the van needs
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
Staples Corner is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.

Perfect for your party in Staples Corner
With a van, the host gets to enjoy the party. And it’s fun.
The van suits big events and small ones. Common bookings include:
- Retirement celebrations
- Family parties with children
- Get-togethers with old friends
- Naming days and christenings
Nearby historic houses include Heath House (2.2 miles east) and Fenton House (2.3 miles south-east). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on vehicles and caterers, so for most parties a home or hired hall is simpler.

A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. Sunset in Staples Corner is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get an access check and a clear price.
- On the day we arrive, park up and heat the fryers.
- We fry fresh and serve from the hatch as your guests come up.
- We pack up when we’re done and leave the pitch tidy.

Questions from Staples Corner
What about parking in Staples Corner?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Can the van park in Clarefield Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first.
How long does set-up take?
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.
Do we need to provide anything?
Mostly just a good parking spot. Mention power and water and we will confirm the rest.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
