A chip van compared with other options
Cakes and sandwiches are popular, but hot food is a draw when it is cool. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
Why us?
- Bookings across Greater London, including Camden Town
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- Classic food your visitors already know
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side

Getting an accurate quote

- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Allergies and diets you know about
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, use our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few visitors with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
- Agree when volunteers will eat
- Settle the pitch terms early
Have a hard-standing back-up pitch.
A few benches near the van help.
How the day works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. Winter fairs in Camden Town are dark by about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there is light until about 8:55pm.
- You send us the event details and pitch information.
- You get our pitch needs and a quick answer on availability.
- We set up before the gates open.
- We trade from the hatch all event, frying to order.
- At the end, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

What the van needs
Every site is different, so we’ll ask about yours when you contact us. In general, we need:
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
- Information about power and water
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
As a London location, Camden Town is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Questions from Camden Town
Is parking a problem for the van in Camden Town?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Which station is closest to Camden Town?
Camden Town has its own station: Camden Road station.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac visitors when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is normally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Do you trade at schools?
Yes, with the school’s permission for the van on site. Send us the date and the spot.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
