Fish and chip van hire means the chip shop comes to you. The van parks up, the fryers go on and everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits waiting in a tray. We serve sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for weddings and evening receptions and care home visits.
From a family drive to an office yard, bookings in Wood Green come in all shapes. Tell us how the van gets in, and about any height barriers or narrow gates. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Step by step

Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- How far we travel
- The menu and how many choices
- How long we serve
- The minimum booking
The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- The venue or postcode
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Dietary needs, with numbers
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, use our quote form.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Wood Green?
Next to a hog roast, a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies rather than one dish, which helps if some guests don’t eat pork. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.
What you get with us
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- We cover Wood Green and the whole of Greater London
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Something for guests to gather round
Read our pricing and the cost guide.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We park, set up, fry and serve, and keep in touch with you about timings.
A string of bunting by the van makes a lovely photo.
What the van needs
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
Wood Green is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Common questions in Wood Green
Could you trade in Woodside Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What’s the nearest station to Wood Green?
Alexandra Palace station, about 0.5 miles west of the centre.
Can you feed plenty of people?
Often, yes. Give us your numbers and service time, and we’ll tell you honestly how service will work.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Is fish and chips enough as a meal?
Fish and chips is a meal in itself. Many hosts add their own desserts or cake.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
How much does a fish and chip van cost in Wood Green?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.

Perfect for your event in Wood Green
There is no kitchen needed, so it works on drives, car parks and showgrounds where other catering struggles.
Whatever brings people together, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We’re often booked for:
- Visits to care homes and day centres
- Staff lunches and team days
- Big birthdays
- Festive get-togethers
A green space like Woodside Park is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, usually the council’s.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether travel is included
- The deadline for final numbers
- Exactly what’s included in the price
- The minimum number of meals or minimum spend
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
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.
- 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
