Planning help
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A cold buffet does not feel festive. Hot food from the van does. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.

For planners, venues and organisers
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Hadley? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Check the van can park on site
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
Plan cover for the queue.
A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.
Questions from Hadley
Which station is closest to Hadley?
New Barnet station, about 1.3 miles south-east of the centre.
What about parking in Hadley?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
How early do Christmas dates go?
As soon as you have a date, especially for a Friday.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?
Food early on is generally wise, before the drinks really flow. For lunchtime, we’ll work to your break.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What does the van need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
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 generally the easier option.
What the van needs
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
Hadley is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Events we cater in Hadley
No restaurant booking, no taxis, because the van comes to you.
Whatever brings people together, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We are frequently booked for:
- Festive gatherings after Christmas
- Christmas socials for clubs
- Christmas lunches for shift teams
- Christmas fairs at schools
A winter fair at a school like Susi Earnshaw Theatre School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular.

A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
