Other occasions in Lower Holloway
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Working with your venue
Hosting at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.

Lower Holloway questions
What’s the nearest station to Lower Holloway?
Caledonian Road & Barnsbury station, about 0.5 miles south of the centre.
Is parking a problem for the van in Lower Holloway?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
We do. Tell us the date and pitch.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
The process
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. In December, it’s dark in Lower Holloway 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.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Tell us when you want to eat
