Fish and chip van hire across HA2

You can keep it simple or plan it carefully: a van that serves as people arrive, or service at a set time. We will recommend what fits. Typical bookings include garden parties and summer get-togethers and weddings and evening receptions, with pie and chips, sausage and chips and gravy.

We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day.

  1. You share your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check the route in and send a price.
  3. We arrive in good time to set up.
  4. Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
  5. We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.

Cost

Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

A fish and chip van across HA2: what to know

HA2 covers everything from Harrow, Hatch End and Wealdstone to 0 small villages and hamlets, and the van works in all of them. Town bookings mean planning parking; village bookings mean planning access.

Harrow: A green space like Northwick Park is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, usually the council’s. If guests are travelling by rail, Harrow-on-the-Hill station is about 0.7 miles away. Planning an evening event in Harrow? Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.

Is a fish and chip van right for you?

A plated meal needs a kitchen, more staff and usually costs more per head. A van needs only a level spot and permission to park.

Comparing caterers

  • The deposit and payment dates
  • The minimum number of meals or minimum spend
  • Any travel, parking or access charges
  • If the price includes VAT

Allergies and dietary needs

Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:

  • Have a back-up for anyone who cannot eat from the van
  • Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
  • Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
  • Collect allergies with your RSVPs

On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We park, set up, fry and serve, and keep in touch with you about timings.

Bunting or festoon lights around the van make it part of the decorations.

Food your guests will love

Haddock and chips

Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.

Gravy

In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.

Space, access and the venue

The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:

  • A spot near your guests
  • Space for people to queue at the hatch
  • Confirmation that the van can park there
