About the food
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Step by step
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. Light matters for evening service: in Tottenham, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Let us know the serving time

Planning help
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Barbecues cook in batches, and someone has to stand over the grill. With a van, nobody misses the event. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
Why Tottenham hosts choose us
- Hot food handed straight over

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Put bins and napkins by the van
- Have a back-up for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Give us separate numbers for children
Fish and chips is best eaten straight away, so we cook as people come up to the hatch.

Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.

Common questions in Tottenham
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can the van park in Bruce Castle Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before booking.
