Places near Hampstead Garden Suburb
Also in Hampstead Garden Suburb
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Plan something for guests we can’t cater for
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later, so the food is still fresh.
Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the evening photos.
Hampstead Garden Suburb questions
Is parking a problem for the van in Hampstead Garden Suburb?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
Can you serve after a service at Free Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
What happens if it rains?
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.
Will the van be in our photos?
Often, yes, and it makes a fun photo. Bunting or lights make it even better.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.

Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
