How it works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it is served. For a staff lunch in Totteridge, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
- Clear the route for the van

Planning help
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Ask facilities about access
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Give us break and shift times
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so service starts on time.
A simple pre-order helps us plan.
How we price a fish and chip van for your team
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How many people are eating
- How far we travel
- Your choice of menu
- The date and time of year
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A picture of where the van would go
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and we’ll reply with a quote. Just use our quote form.
Questions from Totteridge
Could you trade in Brook Farm Open Space?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What’s the nearest station to Totteridge?
Oakleigh Park station, about 1.5 miles east of the centre.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Totteridge.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.

Other occasions in Totteridge
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Planning the van’s spot
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A spot near your staff
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
As a London location, Totteridge is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
