Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan.

Common questions in West Hendon
Is parking a problem for the van in West Hendon?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
What’s the nearest station to West Hendon?
Hendon station, in West Hendon itself.
How far ahead should we book a party?
As early as you can for summer weekends. Ask about your date.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.

Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The number of meals
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The menu and how many choices
- The date and time of year
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
What to tell us

- A photo of the space and the way in
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, use our quote form.
