A chip van near Woodside Park
The process
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. An afternoon Christmas party in Woodside Park can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 3:55pm, so put the van where there is good light.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- 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
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch

Woodside Park questions
Is parking a problem for the van in Woodside Park?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
Can the van park in Swan Lane Open Space?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
What time is best for food?
At the time you choose. Remember it is dark by about 4pm in December.
Where the van can park in Woodside Park
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
As a London location, Woodside Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

Organising for someone else?
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.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
