South Tottenham: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at Church of Holy Trinity: can you come?
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’ll gather.
Which station is closest to South Tottenham?
Seven Sisters station, in South Tottenham itself.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
How much does a fish and chip van cost in South Tottenham?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What is fish and chip van hire?
The van parks at your venue, we fry fresh and serve from the hatch.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
- Confirm allergies by email
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
The oil needs time to come up to temperature, so we arrive well before service. If timings shift, we adapt.
A gazebo by the van keeps the queue dry.
Planning the van’s spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Flat, firm ground for the van
As a London location, South Tottenham is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Working with your venue
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
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’s fried on the spot.
- 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
