About the food
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it’s on the menu.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Planning a party in Holborn
Holborn is about 2 miles north-west of London, in Greater London. We serve parties at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Holborn. We cover 764 places across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages.
No room for the van at home? A club or hall car park near Holborn often works. If you had Lincoln's Inn Fields in mind, ask the council or landowner first: vans can’t simply park up and serve in a public park.

Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
Next to a DIY barbecue, a chip van means nobody is stuck at the grill. Larger groups usually cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Why Holborn hosts choose us
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Allergies and dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Send us a photo of the drive
- Arrange an alternative if needed
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Send allergies to us in writing
Have bins and napkins by the van.
A sign by the hatch with the menu speeds things up.
Holborn: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Holborn?
Farringdon station, in Holborn itself.
Can you serve after a service at St Alban's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Can the van come to Holborn?
We do. Holborn is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Can the van park on my drive?
Typically, if the drive is level and firm and the van can get in. Send a photo of the drive and the way in.
Do you need power or water from us?
Tell us what’s available at the address when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
How early do summer dates go?
Weekends from May to September are busiest, so ask early.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. Midsummer parties in Holborn stay bright until about 9:20pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you’re eating late.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get an access check and a clear price.
- On the day, we park up and get the fryers going.
- Guests come up to the hatch and we fry to order.
- Afterwards, we clear up and leave you to it.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
