Questions from Mile End
What’s the nearest station to Mile End?
Limehouse station, about 0.9 miles south of the centre.
Can the van park in Mile End Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Is grass a problem?
Generally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Can you feed our volunteers and crew?
Yes, alongside public trading or on its own.
How do you charge at fêtes?
Tell us how your event normally works with traders, and we’ll agree terms.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- The number of meals
- The menu and how many choices
- The length of service
- Any minimum charge
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your event.

The process
You will know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first visitors wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. In Mile End, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:20pm, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:05pm.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
How to get a price

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Mile End events: pitches and permissions
Mile End is about 2 miles east of Whitechapel, in Greater London. Whether your event is in the middle of Mile End or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. Mile End is one of 764 places in Greater London where we bring the van.
For visitors coming by rail, Limehouse station, about 0.9 miles south, is the nearest station. Church fêtes, at churches such as Holy Trinity Church, are a natural home for a chip van.
We cover events in every part of the E3, E1 and E14 postcode area and the streets around it. Local streets include Bow Road, Bale Road and Toby Lane; an event on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. Mile End sits on or near the A1205, so getting the van to your event is simple. We also bring the van to events in Bow (1 mile north), Bow Common (1 mile south-east), Bromley (1 mile east), Limehouse (1 mile south) and Donnybrook Quarter (1 mile north). Larger places within reach include London (3 miles south-west), City of Westminster (5 miles west), Marylebone (5 miles west), Kensington (8 miles west), St Pancras (4 miles west) and Walthamstow (4 miles north).
Nearby you will also find Westfield Stratford City (1.7 miles north-east) and Tower of London (2.2 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include Old Ford Island and Tower Hill.
- Nearby schools include Malmesbury Primary School (within half a mile north) and Central Foundation Girls' School (less than half a mile north-east)
- Nearby, you’ll find Lord Tredegar Public House (within half a mile north)
- Other local spots include Holy Trinity (0.7 miles west)
Where the van can park in Mile End
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- Somewhere firm if it rains
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
As a London location, Mile End is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
