Fairs, fêtes and events in Pentonville
Pentonville is about 1 mile north-east of St Pancras, in Greater London. Wherever your event is in the N1 area, we can bring the van to you. We take the van to 764 places across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages.
A summer fête at Church of Saint Peter is the classic setting for a fish and chip van. An event in Barnard Park means agreeing traders and vehicle routes with the landowner, typically the council.
Events anywhere in N1, N1P and EC1V start with a parking spot for the van and roughly how many visitors. Whether your event is on City Road, Noel Road and Dewey Road or a nearby road, we’ll bring the van to you. Pentonville sits on or near the A1200, which makes travel to your event easy. We also bring the van to events in Angel (1 mile south-west), Islington (1 mile north), Clerkenwell (1 mile south), Barnsbury (1 mile north-west) and St Pancras (1 mile south-west). We also serve nearby towns such as City of Westminster (3 miles south-west), Kensington (5 miles south-west), Walthamstow (5 miles north-east), Hampstead (4 miles west), Ruislip (13 miles west) and Brompton (4 miles south-west).

Fish and chip van for events in Pentonville, cooked to order
When there’s hot food, people stay longer, which is good for every other stall. Typical bookings include fish and chip supper nights and music and food festivals, with curry sauce, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
Events in Pentonville range from street parties and school fairs to markets and festivals. Public spaces normally need council permission, and we need a pitch the van can reach. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

The process
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can enjoy your event. Summer events in Pentonville have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We confirm the date, what we need on the pitch and any documents.
- We set up before the gates open.
- We cook fresh and serve through the day.
- At the end, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Plan where the queue will stand

Planning help
Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Where the van can park in Pentonville
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- Information about power and water
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
As a London location, Pentonville is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Questions from Pentonville
Can you come to a school fair in Pentonville?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
What about parking in Pentonville?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
Can the van come to our fair?
Tell us the date and pitch details and we’ll check.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. Find your area.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
At a small fête, one good trader may be all you need, with cakes and teas alongside. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.
