Book the van in North Finchley
How it works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. After-work summer events in North Finchley have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Make sure the van can get in
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

How our corporate fish and chip catering works in North Finchley
Food is fried to order, so the last person served gets food as hot as the first. We are often asked to cater celebrating a big win and thank-you lunches for the team, serving mushy peas, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
In North Finchley, lunch breaks are often short, so we plan service to feed people fast. Let us know about access and security. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
North Finchley is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Diets, allergies and planning
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
Keep the queue clear of fire exits and traffic in the car park or yard.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
