A chip van near St Giles
Corporate fish and chip catering in St Giles, fried fresh
We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so staff do not have to go anywhere. Typical bookings include lunch for site crews and open days, serving mushy peas, cod and chips and pie and chips.
For offices in and around St Giles, the van generally parks in a car park, yard or loading bay, if the building allows it. Facilities teams usually need to approve the van, and access needs planning. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in St Giles? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
How it works
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Lunchtime bookings in St Giles are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
Getting a price

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Questions from St Giles
Can the van park in St Anne's Churchyard?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What about parking in St Giles?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Planning the van’s spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
St Giles is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
