What the van needs
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:
- Space in front of the hatch
- A clear route to base
- Light near the van if needed
As a London location, Lower Clapton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: 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’ll say what we think before you book.

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
A chip van compared with other options
A wrap party at a venue costs more. A van makes a relaxed wrap. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.

- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
