About our fish and chip van hire in Heath Park
Queuing at the hatch is half the experience. People gather, catch up and get their food straight from the fryer. We are often asked to cater big birthdays and village fêtes and school fairs, serving cod and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas.
From a family drive to an office yard, bookings in Heath Park come in all shapes. Tell us how the van gets in, and about any height barriers or narrow gates. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.

How it works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. Around midsummer it stays light in Heath Park until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Heath Park? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.

Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically

- A short menu helps everyone

You shouldn’t have to worry about the food on the day. We arrive in good time, set up, cook and serve, and keep in touch with you about timings.
Somewhere to sit or lean makes fish and chips easier to eat.

Questions from Heath Park
What’s the nearest station to Heath Park?
The closest is Gidea Park station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Can you serve after a service at Saint Alban Church of England?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
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.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.

Before you choose a spot

- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
Heath Park 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.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
