Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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 comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
What affects the price in East Barnet
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Access and parking
- Distance and any road charges
- Whether a minimum applies
- The menu and how many choices
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Where the event is
- A picture of the parking spot
- Where the van would park
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and we’ll reply with a quote. Just fill in our quote form.
Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
East Barnet is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

The process
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can get on with your Christmas party. In December, it’s dark in East Barnet 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.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.

Why choose a fish and chip van in East Barnet?
Takeaway for a whole office arrives late and cold. A van cooks on the spot. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.
What you get with us
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Something for guests to gather round
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Plan cover for the queue
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
For a work party, food early in the evening usually works best.
Hot drinks alongside make it even better.
