Planning a chip van in N2

East Finchley: If you are organising a summer fair for a school like Holy Trinity CofE Primary School, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. For anyone arriving by rail, New Southgate station is about 2.2 miles away. Evening events need a little planning for light: around East Finchley, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Barbecues cook in batches, and someone has to stand over the grill. With a van, nobody misses the event.

The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Put bins and napkins by the van
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Fewer choices mean faster service
- Send allergies to us in writing
You shouldn’t have to worry about the food on the day. We park, set up, fry and serve, and stay in touch about any changes.

For event organisers in N2
Having the party at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Common questions in N2
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.
Can you feed plenty of people?
That depends on how many and how quickly. Staggering groups and keeping the menu short both help.
Can we choose cod or haddock?
Let us know which you’d prefer and we’ll confirm the menu.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children generally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
