Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
For a stall visitors will queue for, a fish and chip van is a great choice in Bloomsbury. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.

FAQs for Bloomsbury
Can the van park in Lincoln's Inn Fields?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What about parking in Bloomsbury?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Do you do school fairs and sports days?
We do. We’ll agree access before the children arrive.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Can you feed our volunteers and crew?
Yes, alongside public trading or on its own.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
- What’s available on the pitch
As a London location, Bloomsbury 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.
