Party fish and chip van in Broadwater Farm
How our party fish and chip van works in Broadwater Farm
It feels like a treat, but stays relaxed: fish and chips from the van, eaten in the garden. Typical bookings include street parties and neighbourhood events and anniversaries and engagement parties, with sausage and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
Most parties in Broadwater Farm are at home, and in London that usually means a drive or street parking. If you have a drive, the van can frequently go there; if not, check the street’s parking rules. A photo helps. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

How it works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. Sunset in Broadwater Farm drops to about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December, so think about lighting by the van.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Share the timings for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
How to get a price

FAQs for Broadwater Farm
We are gathering after a service at St Philip the Apostle: can you come?
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 about parking in Broadwater Farm?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van, mainly. Tell us what’s available and we’ll take it from there.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
How far ahead should we book a party?
As early as you can for summer weekends. Get in touch with your date.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Access wide and high enough for the van
As a London location, Broadwater Farm is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
