Camden Town questions
Could you trade in Lewis Cubitt Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Camden Town?
Camden Town has its own station: Camden Road station.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before booking.
What will the production need?
Productions vary, so send us the list.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your crew, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Film set catering for your shoot in Camden Town
A van can get a crew fed quickly within the lunch break, with no kitchen needed on site. We serve pie and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for wrap celebrations and crew lunches at base.
In Camden Town, unit bases are often in car parks or yards. Locations will have the parking arrangements, often with council permission. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

A chip van compared with other options
Ordering takeaway to a location is unreliable. The van cooks on site. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- Events in Camden Town and across Greater London
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- A van that becomes part of the event

Working with your venue
Parks, greens and streets normally 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 Camden Town? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- A queue area clear of trucks
- Permission for the van at base
- A clear route to base
Camden Town 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.

What a fish and chip van costs
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The length of service
- Any minimum charge
- How many people are eating
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- The address or venue name
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Your date and serving time
- Rough numbers for adults and children
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will come back with a clear quote.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Agree how the base is left
- Put allergy details in writing
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
- Ensure we can reach locations on the day
After service, we pack up and get out of the way.
A dining area at base helps.
How it works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. Long summer days in Camden Town, with light until about 9:20pm, suit evening wraps outdoors.
- We start with the location, call times and crew numbers.
- You get an access check and a quote.
- We agree the van’s position and arrival with the location manager.
- We set up at the unit base and fry to order for the lunch break.
- We pack up straight after service and leave the base tidy.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Give us a contact for the day
- Clear the route for the van
