About our fish and chip van for events in Tufnell Park
A chip van suits school fairs and sports days, with the school’s permission for the van on site. We’re often asked to cater school summer fairs and crew and volunteer catering, with cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
In Tufnell Park, a chip van suits school fairs and street parties, once the permissions are in place. Everything is fried fresh at your event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
What the van needs
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
As a London location, Tufnell Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

What happens on the day
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your event. In Tufnell Park, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:20pm, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:05pm, so evening trading may need lights.

- 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.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
