A chip van near Haverstock
How our party fish and chip van works in Haverstock
The van can park on a drive, a hardstanding or a firm lawn, with the hatch facing your guests. Whether it’s anniversaries and engagement parties and neighbourhood get-togethers, we can cook sausage and chips, curry sauce and cod and chips and more.
Throwing a party in Haverstock? A chip van keeps you out of the kitchen, at home, at a hall or at a club. Tell us about parking permits. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is 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.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.
Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Arrange an alternative if needed
- Make sure the van can park legally
With children, food about an hour in works well.
A sign by the hatch with the menu speeds things up.

How the day works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. Sunset in Haverstock is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Who books party fish and chip van in Haverstock?

Almost any gathering works with a fish and chip van. In Haverstock, people book us for occasions like:
- Engagement parties
- Children’s parties

- Naming days and christenings
A green space like Primrose Hill is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, normally the council’s.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether travel is included
- Payment terms and deposit
- How late numbers can change
- What happens if plans change
Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Flat, firm ground for the van
As a London location, Haverstock is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
