DIY versus a fish and chip van

Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

What the van needs

No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. In general, we need:

  • Space for people to queue at the hatch
  • Light near the van and the queue for evening service
  • The site’s agreement to a catering van

As a London location, Custom House 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 picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we serve

  • Cod and chips
  • Staff lunches

How the day works

The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. In Custom House, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need a lit spot for the van.

  1. We start with your date, site, numbers and shifts.
  2. We check access and send a quote, with anything your site needs from us.
  3. We agree where the van parks and when it arrives with you or facilities.
  4. On the day we set up and fry to order through the agreed service time.
  5. We pack up and leave the space as we found it.

Before we arrive

  • Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
  • Let us know the serving time
  • Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
