Why choose a fish and chip van in East Finchley?
A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your staff event.

Around East Finchley, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and loading bays. Facilities teams typically need to approve the van, and access needs planning. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Common questions in East Finchley
Could you trade in Lyttelton Playing Fields?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What about parking in East Finchley?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for staff.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your staff, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Can you serve each shift?
Yes, if we know the times. We’ll plan it with you.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers

- Send allergies to us in writing
- Have a back-up for special diets
