Isle of Dogs questions
Could you trade in Mudchute Park and Farm?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.
What about parking in Isle of Dogs?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
Can portions be smaller?
Portion sizes are agreed in advance.
About our care home fish and chips in Isle of Dogs
Residents can watch from the window or come out to the hatch, and families are welcome too. On the menu are haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater fish and chip Fridays and sheltered housing get-togethers.
Care homes in Isle of Dogs often have a small car park or drive, so we agree a spot clear of ambulance access. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Organising for someone else?
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’ll work through them with you.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
How we price a fish and chip van visit
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Access and parking
- How far we travel
- The day of the week
- Whether a minimum applies
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A picture of where the van would go
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The address or venue name
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can use our quote form.

Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
- With the serving side away from windows
- Away from emergency access
Isle of Dogs 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 are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

About the food
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Agree numbers for residents, staff and families
- Arrange texture-modified meals from your own kitchen
- Plan it with your catering manager
- Choose a spot away from ambulance routes
Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Bunting, deckchairs and a seaside theme make it an occasion.

What else we do in Isle of Dogs
The process
We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. In Isle of Dogs, 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.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
