Book the van in Barnet
Before you choose a spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
Barnet is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips

How our wedding fish and chip van works in Barnet
We park close to the reception, and guests drift out to queue and chat. It becomes a lovely moment in the evening. For engagement celebrations and rustic farm weddings, we can cook haddock and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips and more.
London weddings around Barnet often mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a courtyard or a family home. The van needs somewhere off the road to park, such as a yard, car park or drive. Plan this early with your venue. Everything is fried fresh at your wedding, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

Other occasions in Barnet
Barnet: your questions answered
Could you trade in Highlands Gardens?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you serve after a service at St John's United Reformed Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Can the van be part of the photos?
Many couples love having it in the photos. If you’d rather not, we will park out of shot where possible.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Barnet.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before you book.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
That depends on your day. Many couples cater for most of the evening list.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Planners, venues and businesses
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Barnet? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. Golden-hour photos in Barnet at midsummer come around 9:20pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.

- Count suppliers working late

- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease

After service, we pack up quietly and leave you to the party.
Think about cover by the hatch for wet evenings.
A chip van compared with other options
A hog roast is a classic for weddings, but it’s pork only. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
What you get with us
- Bookings across Greater London, including Barnet
- No surprises in your quote
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- All the chip-shop extras
Read our pricing and the cost guide.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.

What comes out of the fryer

Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Parking and the way in
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
- Distance and any road charges
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
