Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we’ll ask about yours when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Lighting for early or late service
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
- Space in front of the hatch
Haggerston 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 picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
What we serve
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Crew lunches
- Cod and chips
Food your guests will love
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
What affects the price in Haggerston
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Your choice of menu
- The minimum booking
- The day of the week
- How far we travel
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What to tell us
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Your date and serving time
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Where the event is
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will come back with a clear quote.
Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details

- Update numbers if they change
- Ensure we can reach locations on the day
We work to the lunch time on the call sheet, with a contact for changes.
Cover near the hatch helps on wet days.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Haggerston
What about parking in Haggerston?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
Could you trade in Haggerston Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
How much does a fish and chip van for the crew cost in Haggerston?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Can you feed supporting artists too?
Of course. Just tell us who counts.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can the van come to Haggerston?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Haggerston is within our area and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
