About our fish and chip van for events in Somers Town
Country shows and field events suit a van, if the ground is firm enough for vehicles. We serve mushy peas, chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for church fêtes and fish and chip suppers and village fêtes and summer fairs.
In Somers Town, a chip van suits school fairs and street parties, once the permissions are in place. We cook inside the van, right where your visitors are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Somers Town events: pitches and permissions
Somers Town is about 1 mile north-west of St Pancras, in Greater London. Bookings in Somers Town come in all shapes and sizes, but it always starts the same way: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. Somers Town is one of 764 places in Greater London where we bring the van.
School fairs, for a school like St Mary and St Pancras Church of England Primary School, are a natural fit for a fish and chip van. Church fêtes, at churches such as St Mary's Church, are a natural home for a chip van.
Anywhere in NW1W, NW1 and W1T, we can bring the van to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. From Euston Road, Duke's Road and Phoenix Road or a nearby road, we can park up and fry there. Being close to the A400 and A501, Somers Town is easy for us to reach with the van. For events just outside Somers Town, we cover Euston (1 mile south), Kings Cross (1 mile east), Agar Town (1 mile north), Bloomsbury (1 mile south-east) and Fitzrovia (1 mile south-west).

Planners, venues and businesses
Organising a club, school or community event in Somers Town? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
For a stall visitors will queue for, a chip van is hard to beat. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
What you get with us
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- A quote that spells everything out

What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Planning the van’s spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
- What’s available on the pitch
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
Somers Town 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 will advise.

Step by step
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Evening events in Somers Town have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
