Running an event in Upper Edmonton
Upper Edmonton is about 1 mile south of Edmonton, in Greater London. Tell us where your event in Upper Edmonton will be, and we’ll plan access and set-up. We cover all 764 towns and villages in Greater London. Our nearest city page is London, about 8 miles away.
PTAs at schools such as St John and St James CofE Primary School frequently want one reliable hot-food stall. Events in parks such as Pymmes Park need permission from the council or landowner, and the van needs a firm route onto the pitch.
Wherever your event is in N18, N9 and N17, we can fry fresh for your visitors. That could mean an event at a home on Bull Lane, Park Lane and York Road, as long as there is somewhere for the van. Neighbouring places where we serve events include Northumberland Park (1 mile south-east), Edmonton (1 mile north), Picketts Lock (2 miles north-east), South Chingford (2 miles east) and Winchmore Hill (2 miles north-west). Further out, we also take the van to London (8 miles south), City of Westminster (8 miles south-west), Marylebone (8 miles south-west), Kensington (10 miles south-west), St Pancras (6 miles south) and Shoreditch (6 miles south).
Other landmarks nearby include Edmonton Green Shopping Centre (0.8 miles north-east) and North Middlesex University Hospital (under half a mile west). Within reach you’ll find Pole Hill and Highams Park Lake.
- Local schools include Tottenham University Technical College (0.6 miles south) and London Academy of Excellence Tottenham (0.6 miles south)
- Nearby, you’ll find No.8 Tottenham pub (0.8 miles south)
- Other local spots include Municipal Borough of Edmonton (less than half a mile north)
How it works
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. Summer events in Upper Edmonton have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Upper Edmonton
Can you come to a school fair in Upper Edmonton?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.
What about parking in Upper Edmonton?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How do you charge at fêtes?
It depends on the event: pitch fee, percentage or minimum. We will agree terms before the day.
Can the van come to Upper Edmonton?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Upper Edmonton and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
Do you do festivals?
Send us the event details, dates and pitch information and we’ll let you know if we’re available.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Food your guests will love
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Planning the van’s spot
We will be honest if a spot won’t work. What matters most:
- Confirmation the van can trade there
- A queue area clear of rides and games
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
As a London location, Upper Edmonton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we will check availability right away.
Organising for someone else?
