The process
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Summer fêtes in Stroud Green have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:20pm at midsummer, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:05pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day

Common questions in Stroud Green
What’s the nearest station to Stroud Green?
Stroud Green has its own station: Harringay station.
Can you come to a school fair in Stroud Green?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
What does the pitch need?
Tell us the pitch size and ground, and we’ll confirm.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Can you cater for helpers?
We can. Tell us how many and when, and we will quote.
Can the van park on grass?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can the van come to our fair?
Yes, where the date suits. Send us the date, location and expected numbers.

The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The date and time of year

- Any minimum charge
- How easy the site is to reach
