Book the van in Harringay
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Fish and chip van for events in Harringay, cooked to order
We bring the van and everything we need to cook, so we need little help from busy volunteers. Popular choices include haddock and chips, chips and curry sauce, and typical bookings are for food for volunteers and church fêtes and fish and chip suppers.
In Harringay, street events mean planning closures and access. Send us the pitch and timings. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Harringay?
At bigger events, a chip van works alongside other traders and spreads the queues. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
Why us?
- Hot food handed straight over
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Everything cooked to order at your event
