A fish and chip van or other catering?
A cold buffet doesn’t feel festive. Hot food from the van does. Larger groups usually cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What you get with us
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- A menu almost everyone likes
Take a look at how we price or the cost guide.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Where the van can park in Hornsey
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Access wide and high enough for the van
Hornsey 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.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
From the hatch
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips

What else we do in Hornsey
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- Confirm allergies by email
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Plan cover for the queue
Keep the walk from the door to the van short.
Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.
