Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
What the van needs
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Clear of ambulance access and emergency routes
- Lighting for later visits
- Firm, level ground close to the home
As a London location, Tower Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
Popular choices
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Gravy
- Mushy peas
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips
How we price a fish and chip van visit
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The number of meals
- The menu and how many choices
- The date and time of year
- Parking and the way in
The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

These details help us quote quickly:
- Expected numbers
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The spot you have in mind for the van

A fish and chip van or other catering?

Common questions in Tower Hill
Is parking a problem for the van in Tower Hill?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Could you trade in William Curtis Ecological Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can the van come to Tower Hill?
We do. We serve events in Tower Hill and across Greater London. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you park at the home?
On a level spot in the car park or drive, clear of emergency access.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
