Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Confirm allergies by email
- Let us know about coeliac disease
A gazebo or covered doorway near the hatch helps on a wet night.
Hot drinks alongside make it even better.

The process
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. Sunset in Hatch End in late December is about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Let us know the serving time

Hatch End: your questions answered
What about parking in Hatch End?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
Which station is closest to Hatch End?
Hatch End station, about 0.6 miles north of the centre.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
When should we eat?
Food early on is usually wise, before the drinks really flow. For a lunch, tell us your break time.
Do you cover Hatch End?
We do. Hatch End is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can you come to our office Christmas party?
Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
