About our party fish and chip van in Oakleigh Park
We park on the drive or a firm spot near the party, with the serving hatch towards the garden. For reunions and family get-togethers and street parties, we can cook pie and chips, curry sauce and gravy for your guests.
In Oakleigh Park, 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. A picture helps. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Common questions in Oakleigh Park
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St John: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Is parking a problem for the van in Oakleigh Park?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
Do you cover Oakleigh Park?
Yes, we do. Oakleigh Park is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
What food do you serve?
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?
Usually, if the drive is level and firm and the van can get in. Send a photo of the drive and the way in.
Oakleigh Park parties: what to know
Oakleigh Park is about 2 miles south-east of Barnet, in Greater London. In and around Oakleigh Park, the van can serve from a drive, a yard, a car park or a firm field. Oakleigh Park is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Oakleigh Park to London (9 miles away).
If the day starts at Church of St John, the van can be ready at the house when everyone arrives. A green space like Swan Lane Open Space is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, typically the council’s.
We serve parties across the N20, N12 and EN4 postcode area and the streets around it. Your party could be at a house on High Road, Swan Lane and Green Road or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere for the van. Main roads around Oakleigh Park include the A1000, which makes travel to your party easy. If your venue is just outside Oakleigh Park, we also cover Whetstone (1 mile east), North Finchley (1 mile south), Woodside Park (1 mile south-west), East Barnet (1 mile north-east) and Brunswick Park (1 mile east). We also serve nearby towns such as London (9 miles south), City of Westminster (8 miles south), Marylebone (8 miles south), Kensington (9 miles south), St Pancras (7 miles south) and Shoreditch (8 miles south-east).
A little further out are Grand Arcade (0.9 miles south) and Francis Skaryna Belarusian Library and Museum (0.9 miles south-west). Within reach you will find Barfield Allotments Nature Park and Highgate Hill.
- Nearby schools include Finchley Catholic High School (0.5 miles south-west) and Woodhouse College (1 mile south)
- Nearby, you will find Three Horseshoes pub (within half a mile north-west)
- Local facilities include East Barnet Urban District (1.3 miles north)
Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- A spot near your guests
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
As a London location, Oakleigh Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

A hog roast is pork only, while a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.
