About our fish and chip van for events in Northfields
We bring the van and everything we need to cook, which helps volunteer-run events. We serve haddock and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for sports days and church fêtes and fish and chip suppers.
In Northfields, community events include street parties, school fairs and markets. Organisers generally need council permission for public spaces, and we need a pitch the van can reach. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before you book.

Why choose fish and chip van for events in Northfields?
Hot food keeps families around for longer.
Almost any gathering works with a fish and chip van. In Northfields, people book us for events such as:
- Feeding event crew
- Sports tournaments
- Summer fairs
- Community festivals
PTAs at schools such as Mount Carmel Catholic Primary School frequently want one reliable hot-food stall.
Before booking anyone
- How long service runs, and what happens if you overrun
- How much space the van takes up
- The deposit and payment dates
- When final numbers are due
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
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 cooks in front of your visitors instead.
Northfields: your questions answered
What about parking in Northfields?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Could you trade in Lammas Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
Do you do school fairs and sports days?
Yes, with the school’s permission for the van on site. Tell us the date and where the van would park.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can you feed our volunteers and crew?
Yes. Give us numbers and a time.

A summer fête at Avenue Theatre is the classic setting for a fish and chip van. Events in parks such as Lammas Park need permission from the council or landowner, and the van needs a firm route onto the pitch.

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
At a small fête, one good trader may be all you need, with cakes and teas alongside. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

The process
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. Winter fairs in Northfields are dark by about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; spring events have light until about 8:55pm by late May.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
