Higham Hill: your questions answered
Do you trade at school fairs around Higham Hill?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
What’s the nearest station to Higham Hill?
The closest is Northumberland Park (London) station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
How much does a fish and chip van for your event cost in Higham Hill?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac visitors in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
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.
How we price a fish and chip van for your event
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- The number of meals
- Whether a minimum applies
- The day of the week
- The length of service
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.
What we need to know
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- A photo of the parking spot
- Where the van would park
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The address or venue name
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we will check availability right away.
How it works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. At midsummer, events in Higham Hill stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue

About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Where the van can park in Higham Hill
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Information about power and water
- Confirmation the van can trade there
- Access that avoids crowds
As a London location, Higham Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
