Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
About our fish and chip van hire in Broadwater Farm
Fish and chips is generous food: big pieces of fish, crisp batter and a mountain of chips. It turns a meal into an occasion. We’re frequently asked to cater big birthdays and staff thank-you lunches, with curry sauce, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
In a London neighbourhood like Broadwater Farm, the van usually parks on a drive, in a car park or yard, or on a street with the right permission. Parking is the main thing to plan, so let us know about off-street space or permits. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu.

Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
As a London location, Broadwater Farm is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Why choose fish and chip van hire in Broadwater Farm?
Hot food on a cold or wet day is hard to beat, and the cooking carries on inside the van whatever the weather.
Whatever brings people together, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We regularly serve:
- Weddings and evening receptions
- Big birthdays
- Garden get-togethers
- Community events and fairs
School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as The Willow Primary School, can book the van as a food stall.
Questions to ask before you book
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How late numbers can change
- How allergens are handled
- Payment terms and deposit
How it works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. In Broadwater Farm, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Preparing for the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Broadwater Farm: your questions answered
Could you trade in Bruce Castle Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first.
We are gathering after a service at St Philip the Apostle: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Is it a full meal?
It is a full meal on its own. You can add your own desserts if you like.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
