In Arnos Grove, festive bookings tend to be at workplaces and homes. Tell us about lighting and access. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Arnos Grove: your questions answered
Can the van park in Broomfield Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first.
Is parking a problem for the van in Arnos Grove?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Can you cater for 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.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
When should we book for December?
Ideally in the summer or early autumn, especially for a Friday.
What can guests choose from?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
What affects the price in Arnos Grove
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Service time
- How far we travel
- The day of the week
- Whether a minimum applies
Larger groups usually cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Expected numbers
- The address or venue name
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A photo of the parking spot
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Check the van can park on site
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
Serving early, before the drinks flow, is frequently wise.
Festive lights by the van look great.
For event organisers in Arnos Grove
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Arnos Grove?
A cold buffet doesn’t feel festive. Hot fish and chips is. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.

- A clear quote before you book

Space, access and the venue

- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
Arnos Grove is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

The process
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. In December, it is dark in Arnos Grove by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the van can get in
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
