Fish and chip van for events in Palmer's Green, cooked to order
Everything is cooked as people come up, so it is hot and crisp. For horse and dog shows and festivals, we’ll put together a menu of chips, cod and chips and curry sauce.
At a field event near Palmer's Green, power and water may be limited; let us know and we’ll plan for it. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

- Confirmation the van can trade there
- Information about power and water
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger visitors and fish-dodgers.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Make sure allergen information is available

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Palmer's Green
How far is Palmer's Green from London?
About 32 miles from central London.
Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What can visitors choose from?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
How do you charge at fêtes?
We’ll talk it through when you send the details, and we will agree terms.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Palmer's Green?
Cold food stalls are fine on a hot day, but hot food is a draw when it is cool. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.

Planning help
Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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.
What affects the price in Palmer's Green
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Parking and the way in
- Any minimum charge
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The number of meals
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
