Fish and chip van for events for Edmonton events
Running an event in Edmonton
Edmonton is about 9 miles north-east of City of Westminster, in Greater London. We cover Edmonton as standard, so your event just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. Edmonton is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover. Our bookings stretch from Edmonton to London (about 9 miles away).
School fairs, for a school like Brettenham Primary School, are a natural fit for a fish and chip van. If your event is in Pymmes Park, the organiser will need the landowner’s permission for vehicles and traders.
Wherever your event is in N9, N18, N13 and EN1, we can bring the van to you. From The Broadway, Plevna Road and Galahad Road or anywhere nearby, we can park up and fry there. You’ll find Edmonton on the B137 and B154, so it’s easy for us to reach with the van. We also bring the van to events in Upper Edmonton (1 mile south), Picketts Lock (1 mile east), Northumberland Park (1 mile south), Ponders End (1 mile north-east) and Bush Hill Park (1 mile north-west). Further out, we also take the van to London (9 miles south), City of Westminster (9 miles south-west), Marylebone (8 miles south-west), Kensington (10 miles south-west), St Pancras (7 miles south) and Shoreditch (7 miles south).
Nearby you will also find Municipal Borough of Edmonton (0.5 miles south-west) and Museum of Enfield (2.1 miles north-west). The countryside around Edmonton includes Highams Park Lake and Ainslie Wood.
- Schools near Edmonton include The Latymer School (0.6 miles west) and Starks Field School (0.7 miles north-west)
- Nearby, you’ll find NiW Furniture pub (0.7 miles north)
Fish and chip van for events in Edmonton, cooked to order
The van is self-sufficient on the pitch, which helps volunteer-run events. For club open days and summer fairs, we will put together a menu of chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips and more.
Events in Edmonton range from street parties and school fairs to markets and festivals. Public spaces typically need council permission, and the van needs a pitch it can reach. We cook inside the van, right where your visitors are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Questions from Edmonton
What about parking in Edmonton?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
Can the van park in Pymmes Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you do school fairs and sports days?
We do. We will agree access before the children arrive.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
What affects the price in Edmonton
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- Access and parking
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Cod, haddock or both
- Any minimum charge
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and time of the event
- Anything awkward about the way in
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can fill in our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- Information about power and water
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
Edmonton is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few visitors with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Give us an idea of numbers
- Agree when volunteers will eat
- Display allergens for each stall
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
At the end, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
Tables and seating nearby help families eat.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
At a small fête, one good trader may be all you need. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.

What happens on the day
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. For an evening event in Edmonton, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
