Organisers can book us as a trader, or to feed crew and volunteers. For festivals and feeding event crew, we can cook chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips and more.
Street parties and school fairs in North Greenwich are a great fit for a chip van. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

What a fish and chip van costs
We’ll give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Distance and any road charges
- How easy the site is to reach
- Any minimum charge
- Service time
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your event.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The venue or postcode
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A photo of the parking spot
Not sure of numbers yet? That is fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. Start when you’re ready: use our quote form.

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Ensure allergen information is available
- Plan something for visitors we can’t cater for
- Plan bins near food stalls
We arrive before the gates open to set up on the pitch, at the agreed time.
A sign at the entrance tells visitors hot food is available.
How it works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. Evening events in North Greenwich have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Organising for someone else?
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in North Greenwich? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
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 will confirm what we can provide.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Common questions in North Greenwich
Can the van park in Mudchute Park and Farm?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is parking a problem for the van in North Greenwich?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children normally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac visitors in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
What do you need on the pitch?
A firm pitch with space for a queue. Mention any power or water.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Where the van can park in North Greenwich
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
- A clear route onto the pitch
- A queue area clear of rides and games
North Greenwich is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
