Common questions in Aldgate
Is parking a problem for the van in Aldgate?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
Could you trade in Finsbury Circus?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
How early do Christmas dates go?
Ideally in the summer or early autumn.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Aldgate.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For a Christmas party that feels a bit different, a chip van is hard to beat. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.

Planning the van’s spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Flat, firm ground for the van
As a London location, Aldgate 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.

The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
How the day works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. In December, it’s dark in Aldgate by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
What a fish and chip van costs
There is nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- Your choice of menu
- The number of meals
- The minimum booking
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
