Tower Hamlets questions
Can the van park in High Meadow?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you serve near the sea around Tower Hamlets?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Tell us the shift and break times and we will plan service around them.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Tower Hamlets.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can you park in our car park or yard?
That’s up to your site, but a car park or yard is normally ideal.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
What can staff choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
How it works
Changes on the day are fine: we will adjust start times and pace to suit your staff event. Lunchtime staff treats in Tower Hamlets are in daylight all year round, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 3:50pm in December.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
How to get a price
Send us the date, the address or CT17 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and you’ll get a clear price. Just send us your details through our quote form.

Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
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.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
