The process

A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- First, tell us about your staff event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- 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 staff at the hatch

Common questions in Friern Barnet
What about parking in Friern Barnet?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
Can the van park in Friary Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Do you serve visitors at events?
Yes. Visitors love it.

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Space, access and the venue
We will be honest if a spot won’t work. The main points are:
- A short walk from the party
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Access wide and high enough for the van
Friern Barnet is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
