Bowes Park: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for the van in Bowes Park?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Which station is closest to Bowes Park?
Alexandra Palace station, in Bowes Park itself.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Do you cater Christmas fairs?
Yes, and hot food goes down well in December. Get in touch with the date.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Plan cover for the queue
- Send round an allergy question
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
Plan cover for the queue.
Hot drinks alongside make it even better.

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it’s pork only. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.

What else we do in Bowes Park
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with frying and serving. Sunset in Bowes Park in late December is about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
How to get a price
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
