Barnsbury questions
We’re gathering after a service at Former Church of St Clement: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Could you trade in Bingfield Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Do you cover Barnsbury?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Barnsbury is within our area. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.

Food your guests will love
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Before you choose a spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Flat, firm ground for the van
As a London location, Barnsbury is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- A picture of the parking spot helps
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, then serve as guests come up.
Your own cake makes the perfect finish.
For event organisers in Barnsbury
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
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.
How we price a fish and chip van for your party
We will give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- The date and time of year
- Any minimum charge
- Numbers
- Distance and any road charges
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your party.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Where the event is
- Roughly how many people, including children
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and we will reply with a quote. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.

- 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.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
