Common questions in East End of London
Which station is closest to East End of London?
East End of London has its own station: Shadwell station.
Could you trade in Stepney Green Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you serve visitors at events?
Yes, it is a great draw. Send us the timings and numbers.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.

Haddock and chips

Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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 staff instead.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
What affects the price in East End of London
These are the factors that matter most:
- Service time
- How easy the site is to reach
- The menu and how many choices
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
