Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- A lit spot for evening service
- A route in without tight gates
- Clear of ambulance access and emergency routes
Aldgate 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.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

Planners, venues and businesses
Organising a club, school or community event in Aldgate? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Aldgate: your questions answered
What about parking in Aldgate?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
Could you trade in Finsbury Circus?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
Do you come to Aldgate?
Yes, we do. Aldgate is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Aldgate.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
What affects the price in Aldgate
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How easy the site is to reach
- How long we serve
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
