FAQs for Northwood
Is parking a problem for the van in Northwood?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
What’s the nearest station to Northwood?
Carpenders Park station, about 1.7 miles north-east of the centre.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What if lunch moves?
We expect changes. A contact on the day is all we need.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Can the van come to our wrap?
Yes, it is a popular wrap. Tell us the details.
How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Parking and the way in
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The length of service
- Numbers
Larger groups generally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
