What affects the price in Lower Clapton
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Your choice of menu
- How easy the site is to reach
- The number of meals
- Travel, tolls and road charges
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Your date and serving time
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of the parking spot
Send us the date, the address or E5 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and you’ll get a clear price. Just fill in our quote form.
How it works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. Garden visits in Lower Clapton work best between late spring and early autumn, with sunset about 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September; in winter, keep it to lunchtime.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
Getting a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, use our quote form.

Lower Clapton questions
What about parking in Lower Clapton?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
Which station is closest to Lower Clapton?
Homerton station, in Lower Clapton itself.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Is grass a problem?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
How fast is service?
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.
Can portions be smaller?
Tell us what you need and we will plan portion sizes with your team.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Lower Clapton? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Clear of ambulance access and emergency routes
- Firm, level ground close to the home
- A lit spot for evening service
As a London location, Lower Clapton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
