How the day works
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. Winter fairs in Primrose Hill are dark by about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; spring events have light until about 8:55pm by late May.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Clear the route for the van

Working with your venue
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Where the van can park in Primrose Hill
We’ll be honest if a spot will not work. What matters most:
- Somewhere firm if it rains
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- Space for a queue away from paths
As a London location, Primrose Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
What we serve
- Chips
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips

Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
- Tell us about any school or event allergy policies
- Share last year’s numbers if you have them
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
Have a hard-standing back-up pitch.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.
A chip van compared with other options
Burger vans are common at events. Fish and chips adds variety. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.
