Chip van hire across NW1

NW1 covers everything from Bloomsbury, Islington and Kings Cross to 0 small villages and hamlets, and the van works in all of them. Town bookings mean planning parking; village bookings mean planning access.

Camden Town: Within reach of Camden Town are historic houses such as Winfield House (1.2 miles south-west) and Keats House (1.6 miles north-west). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on vehicles and caterers early. If you had Lewis Cubitt Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: vans can’t simply park up and serve in a public park. Around midsummer it stays light in Camden Town until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.

The menu, dish by dish

Sausage and chips

For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and it’s a favourite with children.

Pie and chips

A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.

Allergies and dietary needs

We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:

  • Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
  • Count children separately
  • Collect allergies with your RSVPs
  • Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early

Once everyone is fed, we pack up.

Put the menu up by the hatch so people decide while they wait.
