Fish and chip van for events in Stoke Newington, fried fresh
We can trade to the public or feed your volunteers. We’re often asked to cater crew and volunteer catering and club open days, with curry sauce, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
In Stoke Newington, street events mean planning closures and access. Tell us the pitch details and timings. We cook inside the van, right where your visitors are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

How we price a fish and chip van for your event
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Numbers
- How easy the site is to reach
- How far we travel
- The day of the week
Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- The date and time of the event
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- A picture of the space and the way in
Each quote is put together for your event. Give us your date first, and we will check availability right away.

The process
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your visitors, which we agree with you beforehand. Summer events in Stoke Newington have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- It starts with your event and pitch details.
- You get our pitch needs and a quick answer on availability.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- We cook fresh and serve through the day.
- We pack down at the end and leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Clear the route for the van
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Let us know the serving time

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Community events around Stoke Newington
Stoke Newington is about 2 miles north-west of Hackney, in Greater London. For events in Stoke Newington, we can park on a drive, a car park, a yard or firm, dry grass. We cover all 764 towns and villages across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages.
Events in parks such as Abney Park need permission from the council or landowner, and the van needs a firm route onto the pitch. A summer fête at Old Church of St Mary or Church of St Andrew is the classic setting for a fish and chip van.
Anywhere in N16 and N4, we can bring the van to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Your event could be at a house on Schonfeld Square, Stoke Newington High Street and Lordship Terrace, as long as there is somewhere for the van.

Planning the van’s spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that does not block walkways
Stoke Newington is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
