How we price a fish and chip van for your party
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How many people are eating
- Your choice of menu
- How easy the site is to reach
- The day of the week
Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- A picture of where the van would go
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The venue or postcode
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
How our party fish and chip van works in Bounds Green
There is no need for a venue: a chip van on the drive turns your home into the venue. We’re often asked to cater christenings and naming days and garden parties and summer get-togethers, serving haddock and chips, cod and chips and gravy.
Throwing a party in Bounds Green? A van means no cooking for you, and works on drives, in yards and at hired halls. Tell us about parking permits. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before you book.

Common questions in Bounds Green
Can the van park in O. R. Tambo Recreation Ground?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Bounds Green?
Bowes Park station, in Bounds Green itself.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can you park at our house?
That depends on the space and the route in. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we will advise.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
A chip van compared with other options
A takeaway order for a party takes ages and arrives lukewarm. The van cooks right there. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Why book with us
- Quick service from the hatch
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- All the chip-shop extras
- Everything cooked to order at your event
How it works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. A summer party in Bounds Green stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Check the street’s parking rules
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
Put bins and napkins near the hatch.
Seats or a few tables help people eat comfortably.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
