Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
Staples Corner is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
About the food
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and children love it.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order.
Staples Corner: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for the van in Staples Corner?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Can the van park in Clarefield Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Do you cover Staples Corner?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Staples Corner and across Greater London. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you do work Christmas parties?
Yes. Tell us the date, site and numbers.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Keep the queue dry
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Check the van can park on site
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
Send people out in groups in the cold.
Hot drinks alongside make it even better.

What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Parking and the way in
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where the event is
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
How the day works
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. At about 3:55pm in late December, it gets dark in Staples Corner, so put the van where there is good light.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
Ask for a quote
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.
