Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
Canning Town is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Working with your venue
Having the party at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Canning Town
Is parking a problem for the van in Canning Town?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
What’s the nearest station to Canning Town?
Canning Town has its own station: Custom House station.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Normally, if it is 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?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
When should we eat?
At the time you choose. Plan lighting, as it’s dark early.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
How it works
Here’s how the day generally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. By about 3:55pm in late December, it is dark in Canning Town; park the van where there’s good light.
