Planning an event in Chinatown?
A fish and chip van or other catering?
For a thank-you that lands, a fish and chip van is a great choice in Chinatown. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
What you get with us
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- A quote that spells everything out
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Chinatown
The van parks in the car park or yard, so staff do not have to go anywhere. We serve haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for friday lunch treats and retirement send-offs.
In Chinatown, lunch breaks are often short, so we plan service to feed people fast. Tell us about site access and parking. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

For event organisers in Chinatown
Organising a club, school or community event in Chinatown? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Send round an allergy question
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
Bins and napkins by the van make it easy.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Where the van can park in Chinatown
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A spot near your staff
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
As a London location, Chinatown is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.
From the hatch
- Staff lunches
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
What happens on the day
You don’t need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your staff event. The frying and serving are down to us. In Chinatown, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- We start with a few details about your staff event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your staff.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing 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
Getting a price

Workplace catering around Chinatown
Chinatown is about 1 mile east of City of Westminster, in Greater London. In and around Chinatown, the van can serve from a drive, a yard, a car park or a firm field. We serve all 764 towns and villages in Greater London.

Estates and historic houses can make memorable settings for client events, but they typically set strict rules for vehicles.
Anywhere in W1F, W1D and W1T, we can bring the van to you. From Duck Lane, Drury Lane and Bruton Lane or a nearby road, we will bring the van to you. With the A4 and A301 close by, Chinatown is easy for us to reach.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
FAQs for Chinatown
Is parking a problem for the van in Chinatown?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
What’s the nearest station to Chinatown?
Chinatown has its own station: Tottenham Court Road station.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your staff event and we’ll send a quote.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Do you have documents for our site?
Tell us what your site needs when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
