Fresh fish and chips in Kingsland
Step by step
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. Light in Kingsland lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
Getting a price
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we will check availability right away.

Film set catering in Kingsland, cooked to order
Everything is cooked as crew come up, so it’s hot when the break is called. On the menu are sausage and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for event crews and crew treats on long shoot days.
In Kingsland, access to base can be tight, so tell us the route and any height limits. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

About the food
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and it is a favourite with children.

Common questions in Kingsland
What about parking in Kingsland?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Could you trade in Shoreditch Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac crew and we’ll explain the options.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Kingsland.
How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- How far we travel
- The minimum booking
- Your choice of menu
- Service time
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- Expected numbers
- Your date and serving time
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, use our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- A queue area clear of trucks
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
- Light near the van if needed
As a London location, Kingsland is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

For event organisers in Kingsland
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Kingsland?
Some locations have nowhere to buy food. A van brings lunch to base. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
