How our fish and chip van for events works in Kingsland
Few things draw a crowd at a fête or festival like the smell of fish and chips. A chip van gives organisers a hot-food trader that almost everyone wants. Whether it is feeding event crew and sports tournaments, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips for your guests.
Street parties and school fairs in Kingsland are a great fit for a chip van. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
As a London location, Kingsland is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

What else we do in Kingsland
How we price a fish and chip van for your event
These are the factors that matter most:
- How long we serve
- Cod, haddock or both
- How easy the site is to reach
- Travel, tolls and road charges
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Where the event is
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A photo of the parking spot
Each quote is put together for your event. Give us your date first, and we will check availability straight away.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Tell us about the pitch
- Agree how we’ll be paid: pitch fee, share of takings or minimum
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
- Ensure allergen information is available
Have a hard-standing back-up pitch in case the ground is soft.
Plan vehicle access before visitors arrive.
How the day works
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. In Kingsland, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:20pm, but by late September the light goes at about 7:05pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- It starts with your event and pitch details.
- We confirm the date, what we need on the pitch and any documents.
- We set up before the gates open.
- We trade from the hatch all event, frying to order.
- We clear the pitch when the event closes.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

Kingsland: your questions answered
What about parking in Kingsland?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
What’s the nearest station to Kingsland?
Kingsland has its own station: Dalston Junction station.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
What can visitors choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
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 be straight with you about what’s possible.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
What does the pitch need?
Tell us the pitch size and ground, and we’ll confirm.
Do you do crew food?
We can. Give us numbers and a time.
