About the food
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it is on the menu.
How it works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. In Northfields, a June party has light 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.
- 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.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
How to prepare
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.

Other occasions in Northfields
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.
Where the van can park in Northfields
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
Northfields is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

After service, we pack up.
Your own cake makes the perfect finish.
Northfields questions
Can you serve after a service at Avenue Theatre?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Could you trade in Lammas Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Do you do street parties?
Yes, where the council allows it. Start the road closure application early.
What can guests choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can the van park on my drive?
That depends on the space and the route in. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we will tell you honestly.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
