Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Somewhere firm if it rains
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
- What’s available on the pitch
Edgware is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
Popular choices
- Mushy peas
- Chips
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Curry sauce
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
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.
Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger visitors and fish-dodgers.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
