Fish and chip van for events in Donnybrook Quarter, cooked to order
The smell of fish and chips brings a queue to any fête. A chip van gives organisers a hot-food trader that almost everyone wants. We serve sausage and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas, and we’re often booked for fish and chip supper nights and sports tournaments.
In Donnybrook Quarter, community events include street parties, school fairs and markets. Organisers typically need council permission for public spaces, and the van needs a pitch it can reach. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Donnybrook Quarter is about 1 mile west of Stratford, in Greater London. Donnybrook Quarter is well within our area, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. Donnybrook Quarter is one of 764 places in Greater London where we bring the van.
Events in parks such as Grove Hall Park need permission from the council or landowner, and the van needs a firm route onto the pitch. If you are organising a summer fair or sports day for a school such as Old Ford Primary - A Paradigm Academy, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
