Party fish and chip van in Edmonton
About our party fish and chip van in Edmonton
Guests who do not know each other end up chatting in the queue. Whether it’s kids’ birthday parties and naming days and christenings, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, gravy and haddock and chips and more.
In Edmonton, a party at home is the usual choice, and parking is the question. A drive is ideal; otherwise, check what’s allowed on the street. Send us a photo. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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 is fried on the spot.
Hosting a chip van party in Edmonton
Edmonton is about 9 miles north-east of City of Westminster, in Greater London. Tell us where your party in Edmonton will be, and we will plan the route and the parking spot before the day. Edmonton is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we bring the van. Our bookings stretch from Edmonton to London (about 9 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Bruce Castle (1.8 miles south) and Forty Hall (3.2 miles north). For most parties, a home or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict vehicle rules. If the day starts at All Saints' Church, the van can be ready at the house when everyone arrives.
For parties in N9, N18, N13 and EN1, we just need to know where the van can park and a serving time. Streets in the area include The Broadway, Plevna Road and Galahad Road, and the van can serve a party on any of them with a suitable parking spot. Being close to the B137 and B154, Edmonton is simple for us to get to with the van. We also bring the van to parties in Upper Edmonton (1 mile south), Picketts Lock (1 mile east), Northumberland Park (1 mile south), Ponders End (1 mile north-east) and Bush Hill Park (1 mile north-west). Within a short drive, we also cover London (9 miles south), City of Westminster (9 miles south-west), Marylebone (8 miles south-west), Kensington (10 miles south-west), St Pancras (7 miles south) and Shoreditch (7 miles south).
A little further out are Municipal Borough of Edmonton (0.5 miles south-west) and Museum of Enfield (2.1 miles north-west). The countryside around Edmonton includes Highams Park Lake and Ainslie Wood.
- Local schools include The Latymer School (0.6 miles west) and Starks Field School (0.7 miles north-west)
- Pubs nearby include NiW Furniture pub (0.7 miles north)
For planners, venues and organisers

Questions from Edmonton
Can you serve after a service at All Saints' Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Which station is closest to Edmonton?
Edmonton has its own station: Edmonton Green station.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can the van come to Edmonton?
We do. Edmonton is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Hiring a hall and a caterer adds up. A van on the drive keeps it simple. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.

- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.

About the food
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A short walk from the party
- Access wide and high enough for the van
Edmonton is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
