About our fish and chip van hire in Upper Edmonton
The queue at the hatch is part of the fun. People gather, catch up and get their food straight from the fryer. We’re often asked to cater big birthdays and staff lunches and team days, serving curry sauce, mushy peas and gravy.
London streets around Upper Edmonton can be narrow and lined with parked cars, so a drive, yard or car park is typically simplest. Send us a photo of the spot. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
How it works
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. Light matters for evening service: around Upper Edmonton, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.

Common questions in Upper Edmonton
Can you serve after a service at St Mary's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Upper Edmonton?
Upper Edmonton has its own station: Silver Street station.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.

What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Your choice of menu
- The day of the week
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How easy the site is to reach
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your event.
