Before you choose a spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
As a London location, West End is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: 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’ll say what we think.

It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
What affects the price in West End
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Cod, haddock or both
- How far we travel
- Any minimum charge
- Access and parking
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- A photo of the parking spot
- Where the van would park
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Still finalising the details? That’s fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll quote on that. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Make sure the van and queue are well lit
- Send round an allergy question
Stagger groups so the queue stays short in the cold.
Festive lights by the van look great.
