Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Before you choose a spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
As a London location, Kitts End is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

Common questions in Kitts End
Can you serve after a service at Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin?
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.
Which station is closest to Kitts End?
Hadley Wood station, about 1.1 miles east of the centre.
Do you do anything other than fish?
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.
Can we choose cod or haddock?
We serve cod and haddock; we will agree the choice when we quote.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with a hog roast, a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies rather than one dish, which suits guests who don’t eat pork. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.
