Fortis Green: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Fortis Green?
The closest is Alexandra Palace station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
Can you serve after a service at United Reformed Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
When should we book for a summer party?
Summer weekends go first. Ask about your date.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
About our party fish and chip van in Fortis Green
For children, there’s sausage and chips, so nobody needs a separate meal. We are often asked to cater naming days and christenings and anniversary celebrations, with curry sauce, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
Most parties in Fortis Green are at home, and in London that normally means a drive or street parking. A drive is ideal; otherwise, check what’s allowed on the street. Send us a picture. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
Fortis Green is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The minimum booking
- How long we serve
- How easy the site is to reach
- How far we travel
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
What we need to know
The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- The date and time of the event
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The venue or postcode
Each quote is put together for your party. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
The process
There is very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your party. We handle the cooking and serving. For a late-May party in Fortis Green, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Make sure the van can get in
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
