DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Looking after everyone

FAQs for City of London

London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
What’s the nearest station to City of London?
London Cannon Street station, in City of London itself.
Is the food cooked at the event?

Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Planners, venues and businesses
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.

Mushy peas

Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
