Fish and chip van for events for your event in Fitzrovia
Country shows and field events suit a van, if the ground is firm enough for vehicles. On the menu are sausage and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and we are frequently booked for fish and chip supper nights and horse and dog shows.
Events in Fitzrovia range from street parties and school fairs to markets and festivals. Public spaces usually need council permission, and the van needs a pitch it can reach. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

About the food
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Fitzrovia
Which station is closest to Fitzrovia?
Fitzrovia has its own station: London Euston station.
Can the van park in St Anne's Churchyard?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Greater London. Find your area.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can you cater for helpers?
Yes, at a time that suits your schedule.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.

It is a hot meal for helpers as well.
Whatever brings people together, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We’re frequently booked for:
- School fairs and sports days
- Festivals
- Village fêtes and summer fairs
- Church fêtes
Church fêtes, at churches such as Whitefield's Tabernacle, are a natural home for a chip van.
Before you book anyone
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- What the van needs: space, access, power
- Exactly what’s included in the price
- VAT, if it applies
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Arrange bins and waste collection
- Plan something for visitors we can’t cater for
- Display allergens for each stall
- Tell us about any school or event allergy policies
When the event closes, we pack up.
Put the van near the entrance or the tea tent.

How it works
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. Summer events in Fitzrovia have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We confirm the date, what we need on the pitch and any documents.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on the pitch.
- We trade from the hatch all event, frying to order.
- We clear the pitch when the event closes.
Preparing for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Plan where the queue will stand
