How it works
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. December visits in Temple Bar are best at lunchtime, as it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- 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.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Share the timings for the day

Where the van can park in Temple Bar
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A level parking spot near the entrance
- A route in without tight gates
- Away from emergency access
As a London location, Temple Bar is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A trip out to a restaurant is hard for many residents. The van comes to the home. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.

Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
- Check the spot with your manager
- Pick a time that suits the home’s day
- Plan how food reaches residents indoors
We arrive in good time to park and heat the fryers, quietly.
A regular date gives everyone something to look forward to.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
