About the food
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Space, access and the venue
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
- A queue area clear of rides and games
London Fields is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.

Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Having the party at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we will let you know if the van will fit.

For a reliable crowd-pleaser, a chip van is hard to beat in London Fields. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.

Common questions in London Fields
What’s the nearest station to London Fields?

Is parking a problem for the van in London Fields?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can you trade at our fête or festival?
Often, yes. Send us the date, location and expected numbers.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What’s on the menu?

Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.

Other occasions in London Fields
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Step by step
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can get on with your event. At midsummer, events in London Fields stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- You send us the event details and pitch information.
- We confirm the date, what we need on the pitch and any documents.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- We cook fresh and serve through the day.
- At the end, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Make sure the van can get in
- Get permission for the van from the venue
