A chip van near Clay Hill
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A hog roast is one dish, while a chip van gives people a choice. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
Why book with us
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Nothing for you to cook or clear

About our party fish and chip van in Clay Hill
It is a treat that feels special without being formal: fish and chips from the van, eaten in the garden. We serve curry sauce, cod and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for reunions and family get-togethers and naming days and christenings.
Throwing a party in Clay Hill? A chip van keeps you out of the kitchen, at home, at a hall or at a club. Tell us about parking permits. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your party, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

For planners, venues and organisers
Having the party at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Clay Hill: your questions answered
Could you trade in Enfield Town Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St John the Baptist: 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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Will the van fit on our drive?
It depends on the drive and the access. Mention anything tight, and we will tell you honestly.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.

Before you choose a spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
Clay Hill is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- A photo of the parking spot helps
- Confirm allergies by email
- Give us separate numbers for children
We park on the agreed spot and set up, and serve as the party carries on.
A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.
How the day works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. Autumn and winter parties in Clay Hill get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:50pm in December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
Getting a price
Still finalising the details? That is fine: tell us the basics about your party, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. Start when you’re ready: send us your details through our quote form.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
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.
Events we cater in Clay Hill
People book a chip van for parties because nobody has to cook. It’s also a bit of fun.
Big or small, the van works the same way. Common bookings include:
- Big birthdays
- Street parties
- Christenings and naming days
- Get-togethers with old friends
Historic houses near Clay Hill include Forty Hall (0.7 miles east) and Wyllyotts Manor (5 miles west). For most parties, a home or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict vehicle rules.
