A chip van compared with other options
Burger vans are common at events. A chip van gives visitors something different. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your event.
What you get with us
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy

Northwood questions
Is parking a problem for the van in Northwood?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Can the van park in King George V Playing Fields?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Why choose fish and chip van for events in Northwood?
It needs little from volunteers.
Whatever the occasion in Northwood, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. We’re often booked for:
- Church fêtes and fish and chip suppers
- Country shows
- Club open days
- Community festivals
Events in parks such as King George V Playing Fields need permission from the council or landowner, and the van needs a firm route onto the pitch.

- Ask traders for allergen information to display
Put bins near the queue.
Pre-selling meal tickets helps us plan.

The process
Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace. Summer events in Northwood have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
