The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.

How we price a fish and chip van
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- The minimum booking
- How many people are eating
- Distance and any road charges
- The date and time of year
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.
Details that help
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Expected numbers
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can send us your details through our quote form.
Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Planning a chip van in Enfield
Enfield is about 9 miles north of St Pancras, in Greater London.

How the day works
We don’t cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. Evenings in Enfield stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the space for the van, then send a quote.
- We arrive early, set up and get the fryers hot.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch at the agreed time.
- When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

Questions from Enfield
Can the van park in Enfield Town Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Andrew?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
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.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
Why choose fish and chip van hire in Enfield?
On a grey day, hot fish and chips wins, and the cooking carries on inside the van whatever the weather.
Big or small, the van works the same way. Common bookings include:
- Garden get-togethers
- Staff thank-you lunches
- Village fêtes and school fairs
- Big birthdays
School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Enfield Grammar School, can book the van as a food stall.
Questions to ask before booking
- The cancellation terms
- What the price includes, item by item
- The deposit and payment dates
- What the van needs: space, access, power
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
- Count children separately
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- A short menu helps everyone
It helps to have bins and napkins by the van.
A chalkboard by the hatch with the menu keeps the queue moving.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
Enfield is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
