What the van needs
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A short walk from the party
As a London location, New Barnet is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
New Barnet: your questions answered
Could you trade in Victoria Recreation Ground?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.

Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.

We take the van across London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.

Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. It gets dark in New Barnet by about 3:55pm at Christmas; choose a lit spot near the door for the van.

- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
How to prepare
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Looking after everyone
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
When service is finished, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Christmas music near the van sets the mood.
