Fish and chip van for events for your event in Limehouse
School fairs and sports days work well with a chip van, with the school’s permission for the van on site. Typical bookings include club open days and community festivals, serving haddock and chips, sausage and chips and chips.
In Limehouse, a chip van suits school fairs and street parties, once the permissions are in place. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

What the van needs
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Information about power and water
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
As a London location, Limehouse is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For a reliable crowd-pleaser, a fish and chip van is a great choice. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.

The process
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Visitors will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Evening events in Limehouse have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
Get a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, use our quote form.

Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The number of meals
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The menu and how many choices
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your event.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Where the van would park
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Where the event is
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can use our quote form.

A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.

Can’t 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. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
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.
