Party fish and chip van for Highgate events
About our party fish and chip van in Highgate
We park on the drive or a firm spot near the party, with the serving hatch towards the garden. We are often asked to cater family reunions and summer garden parties, with sausage and chips, pie and chips and curry sauce.
In Highgate, 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 picture. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do.

Local halls and clubs near Highgate are an option if there’s nowhere to park at home. Nearby historic houses include Witanhurst (less than half a mile south-west) and Athlone House (0.6 miles west). For most parties, a home or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict vehicle rules.

What happens on the day
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. A summer party in Highgate stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the 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.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Which station is closest to Highgate?
The closest is Upper Holloway station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
What about parking in Highgate?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Will the van fit on our drive?
Often, yes, with a level drive and a clear way in. Send us a picture and tell us about gates and branches.
Is there a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include them in your numbers.
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 for a clear quote.
Do you come to Highgate?
Yes, we do. Highgate is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
What do you need at the house?
Let us know about power and water at the house, and we will say what we need.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
