Christmas party fish and chips in Bentley Heath
How it works

- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Bentley Heath
Can the van park in King George's Fields (Monken Hadley)?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Which station is closest to Bentley Heath?
Potters Bar station, about 1 mile north of the centre.
Do you come to Bentley Heath?
We do. We serve events in Bentley Heath and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
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.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party and we’ll send a quote.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Generally, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Any minimum charge
- The date and time of year
- Distance and any road charges
- Access and parking
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Where the van would park
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and when you’d like to eat
