Book the van in Mile End

What the van needs

Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:

  • Confirmation that the van can park there
  • A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
  • Space for people to queue at the hatch

As a London location, Mile End is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Mile End

Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. There is no room to book and no kitchen needed, and people still talk about it the following week. Typical bookings include staff thank-you lunches and project milestones, with haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.

In Mile End, lunch breaks are frequently short, so we keep the menu short and service quick. Let us know about access and security. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Questions from Mile End

Could you trade in Mile End Park?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.

Is parking a problem for the van in Mile End?

London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.

Do we need to provide equipment?

We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.

What does it cost to hire the van?

We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.

What food do you serve?

Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.

Do we need to provide anything?

A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.

What if the weather’s bad?

We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

Can you go on a lawn or field?

It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.

Mile End for staff days and team lunches

Mile End is about 2 miles east of Whitechapel, in Greater London. Tell us where your staff event in Mile End will be, and we’ll plan access and set-up before the day. Mile End is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover.

Within reach of Mile End are historic houses such as Sutton House (1.8 miles north-west) and Mansion House (2.6 miles west). For a client event at a historic house, ask early about rules for catering vans. The A1205 put Mile End within easy reach for the van.

For staff events in E3, E1 and E14, we just need to know where the van can park and a serving time. We can serve a staff event on streets such as Bow Road, Bale Road and Toby Lane, as long as there is somewhere for the van. With the A1205 close by, Mile End is simple for us to get to with the van. For staff events just outside Mile End, we cover Bow (1 mile north), Bow Common (1 mile south-east), Bromley (1 mile east), Limehouse (1 mile south) and Donnybrook Quarter (1 mile north). We also serve nearby towns such as London (3 miles south-west), City of Westminster (5 miles west), Marylebone (5 miles west), Kensington (8 miles west), St Pancras (4 miles west) and Walthamstow (4 miles north).

Other landmarks nearby include Westfield Stratford City (1.7 miles north-east) and Tower of London (2.2 miles south-west). The countryside around Mile End includes Old Ford Island and Tower Hill.

  • Local schools include Malmesbury Primary School (less than half a mile north) and Central Foundation Girls' School (less than half a mile north-east)
  • Local pubs include Lord Tredegar Public House (less than half a mile north)
  • Local facilities include Holy Trinity (0.7 miles west)

Allergies and dietary needs

Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:

  • Send allergies to us in writing
  • Ask facilities what paperwork they need
  • Have a back-up for special diets
  • Flag any coeliac staff

We arrive before your break to park and heat the fryers, so service starts on time.

Tell the team in advance: it’s half the fun.

Step by step

Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. A lunch-break van visit in Mile End is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 3:55pm in December.

  1. You share your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check the route in and send a price.
  3. We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
  4. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
  5. Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

Before we arrive

  • Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
  • Have a level parking spot ready
  • Tell us when you want to eat

The menu, dish by dish

Gravy

In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.

Curry sauce

The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.

Prices and what affects them

Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:

  • Distance and any road charges
  • Cod, haddock or both
  • Access and parking
  • The length of service

Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.

What to tell us

Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:

  • Your date and serving time
  • Anything awkward about the way in
  • Dietary needs, with numbers
  • The address or venue name

Each quote is put together for your staff event. Give us your date first, and we’ll check availability straight away.

For event organisers in Mile End

Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
