About the food
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
The process
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. In Blackwall, the garden season runs from late May, with light until about 8:50pm, to late September, around 7:05pm; in winter, keep it to lunchtime.

- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.

Comparing caterers
- How many hours the van serves
- What happens if the event is cancelled or moved
- A clear list of what’s included
- Any minimum charge
Prices and what affects them
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Service time
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Cod, haddock or both
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where the event is
Still finalising the details? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. To start, fill in our quote form.
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
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.
Organising for someone else?
Organising a club, school or community event in Blackwall? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Before you choose a spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
- A level parking spot near the entrance
- Access the van can manage
As a London location, Blackwall is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Could you trade in Bow Creek Ecology Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
