A fish and chip van across N10: what to know
N10 covers everything from Friern Barnet, New Southgate and Muswell Hill to 0 small villages and hamlets, and a chip van suits every kind of setting. Town bookings mean planning parking; village bookings mean planning access.
Muswell Hill: For a fundraiser at a school like Muswell Hill Primary School, the van can trade from a pitch agreed with the school. For a christening or celebration after a service at a church such as O'Neill's pub, the van can serve at a hall or home nearby. Light matters for evening service: around Muswell Hill, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
- Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests
- Have a back-up for anyone who can’t eat from the van
Bins and napkins near the hatch make life easier.
A chalkboard by the hatch with the menu keeps the queue moving.
A chip van compared with other options
Barbecues cook in batches, and someone has to stand over the grill. With a van, nobody misses the event.
