A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips

Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Chalk Farm questions
Could you trade in Primrose Hill?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Chalk Farm?
Chalk Farm has its own station: Kentish Town West station.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Do you do Christmas markets?
Yes, and hot food goes down well in December. Send us the details.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Keep the queue dry
- Confirm allergies by email
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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.
What happens on the day
The first sign we’ve arrived is usually the smell, about the time the first guests wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. Sunset in Chalk Farm 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.
