Planning the van’s spot

A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:

Lighting nearby for evening events
Access wide and high enough for the van
A spot near your guests

As a London location, Underhill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Christmas party fish and chips in Underhill, cooked to order

December dates book up early, so ask as soon as you know yours. We serve cod and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips, and we are often booked for christmas markets and fairs and family Christmas get-togethers.

In Underhill, festive bookings tend to be at workplaces and homes. Tell us about lighting and access. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

Questions from Underhill

Could you trade in Highlands Gardens?

Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.

Which station is closest to Underhill?

New Barnet station, about 1 mile east of the centre.

Can you cook in the rain?

We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.

What about guests who do not eat fish?

Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.

When should we eat?

At the time you choose. Remember it’s dark by about 4pm in December.

Does the batter contain gluten?

Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

Can you park on the road outside?

Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.

Can you come to our office Christmas party?

Yes, if there’s a suitable spot for the van and the site allows it.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Venue Christmas packages add up. A van can be better value. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.

Why book our van in Underhill

Takeaway run or book a van?

You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

Planning for dietary needs

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:

Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
Book as early as possible for December
Choose a lit spot for the van
Think about a gazebo or covered doorway

Stagger groups so the queue stays short in the cold.

Festive lights by the van look great.

The process

A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch when you’re ready to eat. It gets dark in Underhill by about 3:55pm at Christmas; choose a lit spot near the door for the van, and keep the walk short.
