Stamford Hill questions
Do you trade at school fairs around Stamford Hill?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Could you trade in Abney Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Is the fish gluten-free?

How big a pitch do you need?
Tell us the pitch size and ground, and we’ll confirm.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will take it from there.

We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Somewhere firm if it rains
- Details of any power or water on site
- Access that avoids crowds
As a London location, Stamford Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
