How the day works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. After-work summer events in Canonbury have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture 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 staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Plan where the queue will stand

Planning help
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
What the van needs
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Confirmation that the van can park there
Canonbury is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Put allergy details in writing
- Ask facilities about access
Send a message round when the van opens, and stagger departments if you can.
A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
