Fresh fish and chips in Fortis Green

Why Fortis Green hosts choose us

  • All the chip-shop extras
  • We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
  • Fish and chips fried fresh on site
  • No surprises in your quote

Christmas party fish and chips in Fortis Green, fried fresh

Where the van can park in Fortis Green

We’ll be honest if a spot will not work. What matters most:

  • The site’s agreement to a catering van
  • A clear area by the serving hatch
  • A level, firm spot the van can drive onto

As a London location, Fortis Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

For planners, venues and organisers

Who books Christmas party fish and chips in Fortis Green?

Few things beat hot fish and chips in December.

The van suits big events and small ones. Typical bookings include:

  • New Year parties
  • Christmas customer days
  • Christmas markets and fairs
  • Work Christmas parties

A winter fair at a school like Fortismere School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether VAT is included
  • What the price includes, item by item
  • Any travel, parking or access charges
  • What they can offer for dietary needs

What comes out of the fryer

Cod and chips

For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.

Sausage and chips

For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.

How it works

Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. Sunset in Fortis Green in late December is about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.

  1. Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
  2. Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
  3. Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
  4. We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
  5. Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Getting ready for the day

  • Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
  • Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
  • Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Planning help

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. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.

Questions from Fortis Green

What about parking in Fortis Green?

It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.

Can the van park in Cherry Tree Wood?

Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.

Who clears up?

The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

Can you serve children?

Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.

What if it is raining or freezing?

The fryers are inside the van, so we carry on. Keep the van close to the door.

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.

What if we only have street parking?

That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is normally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
