Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.
Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Clear of the shot and sound
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
Isle of Dogs is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Allergies and dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Flag any coeliac crew
- Send allergies to us in writing
Supporting artists and visitors can be included in numbers.
A dining area at base helps.
- 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
