Is parking a problem for the van in Cockfosters?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.

That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.

Yes, it’s a popular stall. Send us the details.

Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Where the van can park in Cockfosters

- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A short walk from the party
Cockfosters is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
