About our party fish and chip van in St Luke's
Guests who do not know each other end up chatting in the queue. Whether it is christenings and naming days and retirement parties, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, curry sauce and cod and chips for your guests.
Most parties in St Luke's are at home, and in London that normally means a drive or street parking. If you have a drive, the van can often go there; if not, check the street’s parking rules. Send us a picture. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

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.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Numbers
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays

Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Where the event is

Planning a party in St Luke's
St Luke's is about 2 miles north of London, in Greater London. Wherever your party is in the N1 area, we can fry fresh for your guests. St Luke's is one of 764 places in Greater London where we bring the van.
A green space like Artillery Ground is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, normally the council’s. For party guests on the train, St Luke's has its own station, Old Street station.
Anywhere in N1, EC1V and EC2A, we can bring the van to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Whether your party is on Long Lane, City Road and Moor Lane or a nearby road, we’ll bring the van to you. St Luke's sits on or near the A1 and A501, which makes travel to your party easy. Nearby, we also serve parties in Finsbury (1 mile south), Barbican Estate (1 mile south), Shoreditch (1 mile east), Hoxton (1 mile north-east) and City of London (1 mile south). We also serve nearby towns such as City of Westminster (3 miles west), Kensington (5 miles west), Walthamstow (5 miles north-east), Hampstead (4 miles north-west), Ruislip (14 miles west) and Brompton (4 miles south-west).
Other landmarks nearby include Montfichet's Tower (0.9 miles south-west) and County of London (0.7 miles south). Open spaces near St Luke's include St. James's Park Lake and Barnsbury Wood.
- Local schools include Central Foundation Boys' School (less than half a mile east) and Charterhouse Square School (within half a mile south-west)
- Pubs nearby include The Masque Haunt pub (under half a mile east)

Space, access and the venue
Every site is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A clear area by the serving hatch
As a London location, St Luke's is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Common questions in St Luke's
Can the van park in Artillery Ground?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to St Luke's?
Old Street station, in St Luke's itself.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
When should we book for a summer party?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Planners, venues and businesses
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
