- Lighting for early or late service
- A queue area clear of trucks

As a London location, Spitalfields is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The length of service
- Cod, haddock or both
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Whether a minimum applies
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.

Questions from Spitalfields
Could you trade in Finsbury Circus?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to Spitalfields?
Spitalfields has its own station: London Liverpool Street station.
Can you feed visitors on set?
Yes, if they’re in your numbers. Tell us the day before.
Do you cover Spitalfields?
Yes, we do. Spitalfields is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.
A chip van compared with other options
Wrap parties add up. A van makes a relaxed wrap. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
