For event organisers in Enfield Island Village
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Choose a friend to be our contact
- Allow a little extra
- Ask a friend to run a tea table
- Keep the serving time flexible
We arrive in good time and park discreetly before guests return from the service.
Have napkins and bins ready.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.

Enfield Island Village questions
We’re gathering after a service at Ss Peter and Paul Church: 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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Could you trade in Gunpowder Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
What if we do not know numbers?
Start with a rough number, and we’ll firm it up nearer the day.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Can you come to the house?
Frequently, yes. Tell us about parking at the house.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
- 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
