How fish and chip van hire works in HA1
There is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. All it needs is a level spot it can reach, which suits drives, yards, car parks and firm lawns. Typical bookings include milestone birthday parties and weddings, especially the evening, with curry sauce, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we are there in good time before you want to eat.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the space for the van, then send a quote.
- On the day, we park on the agreed spot and set up.
- We cook to order and serve hot at the time you chose.
- When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.

There is a railway station in Greenhill itself: Harrow-on-the-Hill station. Well-known places in the area include St. Anns (less than half a mile south-west) and Hilfield Castle (4.8 miles north).

Planning a chip van in HA1
There are 3 towns and 0 villages and hamlets in HA1, so the setting can be anything from Harrow, Wembley and Kenton to a quiet hamlet: firm ground, access and agreed timings.
Greenhill: If you are gathering after a service at a church like Church of St John the Baptist, a nearby hall car park or drive suits the van. If you had Northwick Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: vans cannot simply park up and serve in a public park. Light matters for evening service: in Greenhill, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm.
