What else we do in Tufnell Park
How it works
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. Plan your Christmas party in Tufnell Park around the dark: the light goes at about 3:55pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Make sure the van can get in

A fish and chip van or other catering?
A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it is one dish. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.

Tufnell Park in December: what to know
Tufnell Park is about 2 miles west of Highbury, in Greater London. Give us the address of your Christmas party in Tufnell Park, and we will plan the route and the parking spot before the day. Tufnell Park is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover.
A Christmas fair at Church of St Benet and All Saints is just the kind of event a chip van suits. If you are organising a Christmas fair for a school like Eleanor Palmer Primary School, hot fish and chips goes down well.

Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Make sure the van and queue are well lit
- Send round an allergy question
- Check the van can park on site
A gazebo or covered doorway near the hatch helps on a wet night.
Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.
What a fish and chip van costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- Parking and the way in
- Whether a minimum applies
- The length of service
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Larger groups typically 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 we need to know
The more we know about your Christmas party, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Your date and serving time
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Roughly how many people, including children
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.
Working with your venue
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

What about parking in Tufnell Park?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Do you do Christmas markets?
Yes. Send us the event details and the pitch information.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.

Do you do anything other than fish?

Can you cook in the rain?
