Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Working with your venue
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Haverstock? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- The day of the week
- Any minimum charge
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The menu and how many choices
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Expected numbers
- Where the van would park
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The address or venue name
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and you’ll get a clear price. Just fill in our quote form.
The menu, dish by dish

Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Common questions in Haverstock
Is parking a problem for the van in Haverstock?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
Could you trade in Primrose Hill?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Is a fish and chip van right for your care home visit?
