Questions from Broadwater Farm
What about parking in Broadwater Farm?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
Can you come to a school fair in Broadwater Farm?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Can you cater for helpers?
Yes, alongside public trading or on its own.
Do you cover Broadwater Farm?
Yes, we do. Broadwater Farm is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.

What about visitors who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
Can you trade at our fête or festival?
Yes, where the date suits. Get in touch with the details.
Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
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 make it work smoothly:
- Have other stalls for special diets
- Agree when volunteers will eat
- Agree the terms in writing
- Share last year’s numbers if you have them
If we are feeding volunteers, agree a time that suits the schedule.
Pre-sold meal tickets can help at fundraisers.

A fish and chip van suits almost any gathering. People in Broadwater Farm book the van for events such as:

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a volunteer barbecue, a chip van frees your helpers. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Why us?
- All the chip-shop extras
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- A menu almost everyone likes
- A van that becomes part of the event
Read our pricing or our guide to van hire costs.
Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
The process
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we are hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. In Broadwater Farm, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:20pm, but by late September the light goes at about 7:05pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
Getting a price
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.

Space, access and the venue
If a spot is not suitable, we will tell you, and help find another. What matters most:
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
- A clear route onto the pitch
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
As a London location, Broadwater Farm is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
