About our fish and chip van for events in Canons Park
A hot-food van gives families a reason to stay longer, which is good for every other stall. We’re often asked to cater feeding event crew and school fairs and sports days, serving cod and chips, chips and curry sauce.
In Canons Park, a chip van suits school fairs and street parties. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often 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’ll confirm what we can provide.
Having the party at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.

There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays

Common questions in Canons Park
Which station is closest to Canons Park?
The closest is Mill Hill Broadway station, roughly 1.7 miles away.
Is parking a problem for the van in Canons Park?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
What are the terms for events?
It depends on the event: a pitch fee, a share of takings or a guaranteed minimum. We will agree it in writing.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac visitors in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can you come to a school event?
Yes, once the school agrees where the van goes. Send us the date and the spot.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.

The process
Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Winter fairs in Canons Park are dark by about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; in late May there’s light until about 8:55pm.
- Organisers send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We confirm availability, our pitch needs and anything the event asks for.
- We set up before the gates open.
- We trade from the hatch all event, frying to order.
- We clear the pitch when the event closes.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
