Planning an event in Seven Sisters?
Before you choose a spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
- Details of any power or water on site
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
As a London location, Seven Sisters 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 picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How far we travel
- Access and parking
- The day of the week
- Numbers
Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The address or venue name
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Rough numbers for adults and children
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
Organising for someone else?

FAQs for Seven Sisters
Do you trade at school fairs around Seven Sisters?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Can the van park in Chestnuts Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
