About our corporate fish and chip catering in Canning Town
Everything is cooked as people come up, so it’s hot whether you are first or last in the queue. Whether it’s friday lunch treats and charity and fundraising days at work, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips for your guests.
Around Canning Town, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and loading bays. Facilities teams generally need to approve the van, and access needs planning. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

Questions from Canning Town
What about parking in Canning Town?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Could you trade in Keir Hardie Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.

What else we do in Canning Town
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Organising for someone else?
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Space, access and the venue
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
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.

Step by step
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. Lunchtime bookings in Canning Town are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
