A chip van compared with other options
One good hot-food van can be enough at a smaller event, with cakes and teas alongside. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.

Looking after everyone

- Agree how we’ll be paid: pitch fee, share of takings or minimum

- Let us know about allergy rules on site
Have a hard-standing back-up pitch.
A clear route for the van before the gates open avoids problems.
Enfield questions
What about parking in Enfield?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
Which station is closest to Enfield?
Enfield has its own station: Enfield Town station.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Do you trade at schools?
Yes, with the school’s permission for the van on site. Tell us the date and where the van would park.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Can you cater for helpers?
Yes. Tell us how many and when, and we’ll quote.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
How it works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. For an evening event in Enfield, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Let us know the serving time

How we price a fish and chip van for your event
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The date and time of year
- Cod, haddock or both
- The length of service
- The minimum booking
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The date and time of the event
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A picture of where the van would go
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can send us your details through our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
Enfield is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
From the hatch
- Curry sauce
- Chips
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
