Fresh fish and chips in Blackwall
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Fish and chip van for events in Blackwall, fried fresh
A chip van suits school fairs and sports days, once the school agrees where the van goes. Whether it’s church fêtes and fish and chip suppers and country shows, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas and more.
Events in Blackwall range from street parties and school fairs to markets and festivals. Organisers generally need council permission for public spaces, and the van needs a pitch it can reach. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.

What else we do in Blackwall
Running an event in Blackwall
Blackwall is about 1 mile south-west of Canning Town, in Greater London. Events in Blackwall are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a parking spot and fresh frying on the day. We take the van to 764 places across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages.
A summer fête at All Saints Church is the classic setting for a fish and chip van. Events in parks such as Bow Creek Ecology Park need permission from the council or landowner, and the van needs a firm route onto the pitch.
This part of Greater London takes in E14, SE10 and E16, so your event can be anywhere in it. Local streets include Nutmeg Lane, Athol Square and Leamouth Road; an event on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. Blackwall is on the A102 and A1206, which makes the journey straightforward. If your venue is just outside Blackwall, we also cover Coldharbour (1 mile south-west), Leamouth (1 mile north-east), Limmo Peninsula (1 mile north-east), Poplar (1 mile west) and London Docklands (1 mile west). We also serve nearby towns such as London (4 miles west), City of Westminster (6 miles west), Marylebone (6 miles west), Kensington (9 miles west), St Pancras (5 miles west) and Shoreditch (3 miles north-west).
Other landmarks nearby include Surrey Quays Shopping Centre (2 miles west) and Poplar Hospital (less than half a mile north-west). Open spaces near Blackwall include Lavender Pond and Tower Hill.
- Local schools include Tower Hamlets College (0.6 miles west) and Langdon Park Secondary School (0.7 miles north-west)
- Pubs nearby include The Gun pub (under half a mile south-west)

What happens on the day
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your event in Blackwall. Summer fêtes in Blackwall have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:20pm at midsummer, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:05pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Ensure the van can get in
