Fresh fish and chips in North End
For event organisers in North End
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Fish and chip van for events for your event in North End
Give us the date, pitch and expected numbers, and we will let you know if we’re available. Popular choices include curry sauce, haddock and chips and sausage and chips, and we are frequently booked for horse and dog shows and club open days.
Street parties and school fairs in North End are a great fit for a chip van, once the permissions are in place. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.

Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.

Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.

How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.

It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.

What the van needs
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Somewhere firm if it rains
- Space for a queue away from paths
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
North End is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
At bigger events, a chip van works alongside other traders and spreads the queues. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Why us?
- A van that becomes part of the event
- We cover North End and the whole of Greater London
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Fried fresh, not kept warm

How we price a fish and chip van for your event
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- How long we serve
- Access and parking
- The menu and how many choices
- The day of the week
The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Expected numbers
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, use our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Tell us about the pitch
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
- Agree who removes waste
Mark out the queue area away from walkways.
Put the van near the entrance or the tea tent.
Step by step
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Visitors normally gather round the hatch once service starts. Winter fairs in North End are dark by about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; spring events have light until about 8:55pm by late May.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

DIY versus a fish and chip 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.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
