A fish and chip van or other catering?
Next to a delivery order, a van serves hot food on site, so it is not lukewarm by the time it’s plated. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.
Why us?
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- No surprises in your quote
See our pricing and the cost guide.
Where the van can park in Clerkenwell
We will be honest if a spot will not work, and help find another. What matters most:
- A route in without tight gates
- Lighting for later visits
- Away from emergency access
As a London location, Clerkenwell 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’ll advise.

Takeaway run or book a van?

The process
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving.

- We plan portions and dietary needs with the home.
- We park up and cook to order at mealtime.
- Afterwards, we pack up quietly.
Getting ready for the day
