Christmas party fish and chips in Bow Common
Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.

- The length of service

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
Serving early, before the drinks flow, is often wise.
Crackers on the tables finish it off.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Questions from Bow Common
Can the van park in Bartlett Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What about parking in Bow Common?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
What can guests choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Children normally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A spot near your guests
- Access wide and high enough for the van
As a London location, Bow Common 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.
Popular choices
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Curry sauce
- Gravy
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
How the day works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. By about 3:55pm in late December, it’s dark in Bow Common; choose a lit spot near the door for the van, and keep the walk short.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Share the timings for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
How to get a price
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
