What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it is hot, crisp and generous.

Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Plan bins and waste at base
- Make sure we can reach locations on the day
- Send the unit base address and directions
- Send allergies to us in writing
We clear up quickly after lunch.
Plan bins at the unit base.
Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Light near the van if needed
- Clear of the shot and sound
- A queue area clear of trucks
As a London location, Angel is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Common questions in Angel
Can the van park in Barnard Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first.
Which station is closest to Angel?
The closest is London Kings Cross station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Can you adjust to schedule changes?
Schedules move, and we plan for it. A contact on the day is all we need.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Can the van come to our wrap?
Yes, and crews love it. Tell us the details.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
