How the day works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. Evening food at a Tufnell Park wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Share the timings for the day

Why choose a fish and chip van in Tufnell Park?
Next to a cold buffet, a chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer, and nothing sits out drying up. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What you get with us
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- A clear quote before you book
- Quick service from the hatch

Before you choose a spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
Tufnell Park 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 photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
From the hatch
- Curry sauce
- Cod and chips
- Evening fish and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
For planners, venues and organisers
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Count suppliers working late
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
We arrive and set up without getting in the way, so we are ready at the agreed time.
Let the DJ or band announce when the food is ready.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
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.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
