What else we do in Holywell
The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Working with your venue
Organising a club, school or community event in Holywell? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

Before you choose a spot
If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another. The main points are:
- A spot near your guests
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
Holywell 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 you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Keep the menu short and the queue moves quickly.
Plan cover near the hatch if rain is possible.
The process
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. Evening events need a little planning for light: around Holywell, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
