About our party fish and chip van in Harringay
There’s no need for a venue: the van makes your home the party venue. We’re frequently asked to cater leaving parties and family parties with children, with haddock and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips.
Most parties in Harringay are at home, and in London that typically 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 photo helps. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.

What comes out of the fryer
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.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Allergies and dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Flag any coeliac guests
- A picture of the parking spot helps
- Tell us how many children are coming
We park on the agreed spot and set up, then serve as guests come up.
Finish with the birthday cake.

Harringay questions
What’s the nearest station to Harringay?
Harringay has its own station: Harringay Green Lanes station.
Is parking a problem for the van in Harringay?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
What can guests choose from?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How far ahead should we book a party?
Weekends from May to September are busiest, so ask early.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Step by step
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and get on with frying and serving. At midsummer, it is light in Harringay until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
How to get a price

Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
