Choosing a fish and chip van

Open days and customer events work well too: visitors queue, chat and stay longer. For retirement send-offs and thank-you lunches for the team, we can cook haddock and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips.

London work events in Upper Clapton frequently run to a tight lunch break, so we plan service to feed people fast. Tell us about site access and parking.

Looking after everyone

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:

  • Send round an allergy question
  • Ask facilities what paperwork they need
  • Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
  • Send allergies to us in writing

Plan the queue away from vehicle routes in the car park or yard.

Some teams make it a regular treat.

Where the van can park in Upper Clapton

Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:

  • A clear area by the serving hatch
  • Access wide and high enough for the van
  • A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn

Upper Clapton is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

How it works

Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. For a staff lunch in Upper Clapton, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.

  1. We start with your date, site, numbers and shifts.
  2. You get a quote and answers to facilities’ questions.
  3. We agree where the van parks and when it arrives with you or facilities.
  4. We cook to order for each group as they come out.
  5. We pack up and leave the space as we found it.

Getting ready for the day

  • Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
  • Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
  • Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Food your guests will love

Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.

FAQs for Upper Clapton

Could you trade in Springfield Park?

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

Which station is closest to Upper Clapton?

The closest is Clapton station, roughly 0.6 miles away.

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.

Who clears up?

The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for staff are worth planning.

Is the food cooked at the event?

Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

What if the weather’s bad?

Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Staff will appreciate cover near the hatch.

Do you need power or water?

Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.

Do you have documents for our site?

Every site asks for something different, so ask facilities for their list and pass it on.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
