What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A spot near your guests
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
As a London location, Canons Park 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 photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Canons Park: your questions answered
Could you trade in Edgwarebury Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first.
What’s the nearest station to Canons Park?
Mill Hill Broadway station, about 1.7 miles east of the centre.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
Which fish do you use?
Tell us your preference when you book and we’ll confirm what we can offer.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. Find your area.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- A short menu helps everyone
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
A short menu keeps service quick, especially when everyone wants to eat at once.
Bunting or festoon lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
How we price a fish and chip van
These are the factors that matter most:
- The day of the week
- How many people are eating
- Service time
- Any minimum charge
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- A photo of the space and the way in
- The venue or postcode
The quickest way to a quote is to send us your details through our quote form. Give us the details of your event, and we will check the date and send a price.

A chip van compared with other options
A cold buffet is simple, but food sits out, and there is nothing warming on a chilly day. A chip van cooks to order and serves hot. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your event.
