About fish and chip van hire in N18
Fish and chip van hire means the chip shop comes to you. We park up, heat the fryers and cook to order, so every portion goes out hot and crisp. Typical bookings include community events and fairs and care home visits, with pie and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
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.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Pricing in N18
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.

Fish and chip van hire in N18: local guide
N18 covers everything from Edmonton, Tottenham and Upper Edmonton to 1 small villages and hamlets, and a chip van suits every kind of setting. In towns, plan parking and access; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.
Upper Edmonton: A green space like Pymmes Park is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, usually the council’s. For a christening or celebration after a service at a church such as St Mary's Church, the van can serve at a hall or home nearby. Around midsummer it stays light in Upper Edmonton until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:50pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Have a back-up for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- A short menu helps everyone
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
Once everyone is fed, we pack up.
Tables or benches nearby help people eat comfortably.

What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
