Fish and chip van for events in Heron Quays, cooked to order
The van is self-sufficient on the pitch, so we need little help from busy volunteers. On the menu are cod and chips, chips and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater sports tournaments and horse and dog shows.
In Heron Quays, street events mean planning closures and access. Tell us the pitch details and timings. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

How the day works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your visitors, which we agree with you beforehand. At midsummer, events in Heron Quays stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- It starts with your event and pitch details.
- You get our pitch needs and a quick answer on availability.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on the pitch.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch through the event.
- We pack down at the end and leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Give us a contact for the day

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Heron Quays
What’s the nearest station to Heron Quays?
Canary Wharf station, in Heron Quays itself.
Can the van park in Sir John McDougall Gardens?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you come to a school event?
Yes, once the school agrees where the van goes. Send us the date and the spot.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Do you do festivals?
Send us the event details, dates and pitch information and we will let you know if we are available.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
What can visitors choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac visitors and we’ll explain the options.
What affects the price in Heron Quays
We’ll give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- The date and time of year
- Access and parking
- The length of service
- The number of meals
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your event.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- Your date and serving time
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A picture of where the van would go
- Where the van would park
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
