Fish and chip van hire for your event in Hadley
Because the cooking is in the van, the weather does not stop us. It’s a dependable choice for events in any season. We serve haddock and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater staff lunches and team days and work Christmas parties.
Streets in Hadley are frequently tight, so a drive, yard or car park is generally simplest. Tell us what you have. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and children love it.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. In Hadley, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.

- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.

What the van needs
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A short walk from the party
- Confirmation that the van can park there
Hadley is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

A fish and chip van in Hadley: local details
Hadley is about 1 mile north-west of Barnet, in Greater London. In and around Hadley, the van can serve from a drive, a yard, a car park or a firm field.

Nearby, we also serve events in High Barnet (1 mile west), Kitts End (1 mile north), Arkley (1 mile south-west), Totteridge (1 mile south) and Dancers Hill (2 miles north).

Questions from Hadley
We are gathering after a service at Christ Church: can you come?
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. Tell us where you will gather.
What about parking in Hadley?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Is a chip van good for a large crowd?
It depends on numbers and timings. Staggering groups and keeping the menu short both help.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Hadley.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Hadley?
Next to a hog roast, a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies rather than one dish, which suits guests who don’t eat pork. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.
