How the day works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Winter fairs in Cyprus are dark by about 3:50pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there is light until about 8:50pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Perfect for your event in Cyprus
A chip van is reliably one of the busiest pitches.
In Cyprus and nearby, the van turns up at all sorts of events. Some of the most common are:
- Club open days
- Village fêtes
- Feeding event crew
- School fairs and sports days
If your event is in Beckton District Park, the organiser will need the landowner’s permission for vehicles and traders.

Running an event in Cyprus
Cyprus is about 2 miles east of Canning Town, in Greater London. Give us the address of your event in Cyprus, and we will plan the route and the parking spot before the day. We cover all 764 towns and villages across Greater London. Our bookings stretch from Cyprus to London (7 miles away).
If visitors are coming by train, the nearest station is Woolwich station, about 1.3 miles south. Running a fête for a church like St Michael and All Angels Church? A chip van draws people in.
Wherever your event is in E6 and E16, we can fry fresh for your visitors, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Whether your event is on Strait Road, Harper Road and Trader Road or a nearby road, we can park up and fry there. If your venue is just outside Cyprus, we also cover Beckton (1 mile north-east), North Woolwich (1 mile south), Royal Docks (1 mile west), East Ham (1 mile north) and Custom House (1 mile west). We also serve nearby towns such as London (7 miles west), City of Westminster (9 miles west), Marylebone (9 miles west), Kensington (11 miles west), St Pancras (8 miles west) and Shoreditch (6 miles west).
Well-known places in the area include Greenwich Castle (3.6 miles south-west) and North Woolwich Old Station Museum (0.7 miles south). Green spaces nearby include Gilbert's Pit.
- Local schools include London Design and Engineering UTC (under half a mile south-west) and Oasis Academy Silvertown (0.6 miles south)
- Parks and local facilities nearby include East Ham (1.6 miles north)
What else we do in Cyprus
Common questions in Cyprus
Can the van park in Beckton District Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What about parking in Cyprus?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
Do you do school fairs and sports days?
Yes. We will agree access before the children arrive.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can the van come to Cyprus?
We do. We serve events in Cyprus and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Share pitch details
- Share any nut or allergy policies
- Display allergens for each stall
- Plan bins near food stalls
Bins near the van help keep the site tidy.
Pre-sold meal tickets can help at fundraisers.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.
What affects the price in Cyprus
These are the factors that matter most:
- The date and time of year
- How long we serve
- The number of meals
- Parking and the way in
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Where the event is
- Expected numbers
- The date and time of the event
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
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:
- Details of any power or water on site
- Access that avoids crowds
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
As a London location, Cyprus is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
