A chip van near Limmo Peninsula
The process
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. Visitors will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. December events in Limmo Peninsula lose the light at about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; in late May there’s light until about 8:50pm.
- It starts with your event and pitch details.
- You get our pitch needs and a quick answer on availability.
- We set up before the gates open.
- We cook fresh and serve through the day.
- We clear the pitch when the event closes.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

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 fill in our quote form.

Common questions in Limmo Peninsula
Can you come to a school fair in Limmo Peninsula?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
What’s the nearest station to Limmo Peninsula?
The closest is Custom House station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can you come to a school event?
Yes. We will need a safe route onto the site away from children.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
Working with your venue
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.

Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.

- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that does not block walkways
