How we price a fish and chip van for your party
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- Whether a minimum applies
- The menu and how many choices
- Numbers
- The length of service
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What to tell us
The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Please include:
- The address or venue name
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Your date and serving time
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
How our party fish and chip van works in Finsbury Park
A chip van also works for street parties, with the right permissions in place. Whether it’s garden get-togethers and family parties with children, we can cook haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas and more.
Most parties in Finsbury Park are at home, and in London that usually means a drive or street parking. If you have a drive, the van can often go there; if not, check the street’s parking rules. A picture helps. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Check the street’s parking rules
- Send us a photo of the drive
- Put allergy details in writing
We park on the agreed spot and set up, and serve as the party carries on.
A few lights around the van look great.

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.
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 solves that by cooking on site.
How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. At midsummer, it is light in Finsbury Park until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- First, tell us about your party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Name one person we can call on the day

Questions from Finsbury Park
Which station is closest to Finsbury Park?
Finsbury Park has its own station: Finsbury Park station.
Can you serve after a service at St John the Evangelist?
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. Tell us where you will gather.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
How long will the queue be?
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.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Do you cover Finsbury Park?
We do. Finsbury Park is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
