The process
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. Summer events in Osidge have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Get permission for the van from the venue
Getting a price
Send us the date, the address or N14 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and you will get a clear price. Just fill in our quote form.

Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Have other stalls for special diets
- Share last year’s numbers if you have them
- Agree when volunteers will eat
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
We set up before visitors arrive.
Pre-sold meal tickets can help at fundraisers.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Osidge?
Most events have a burger van. Fish and chips adds variety. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
Why book our van in Osidge
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Something for visitors to gather round
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
Read our prices page and the cost guide.
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.

Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
- Access that avoids crowds
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
Osidge is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
