Stratford events: pitches and permissions
Stratford is about 5 miles north-east of London, in Greater London. Anywhere in E15, we will come to your venue, home or workplace. We cover all 764 towns and villages in Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages.
If your event is in West Ham Park, the organiser will need the landowner’s permission for vehicles and traders. School fairs, for a school like Stratford Circus, are a natural fit for a fish and chip van.
Here we cover the E15, E20 and E3 postcode area, so your event can be anywhere in it. Whether your event is on Gay Road, Cam Road and Eve Road or anywhere nearby, we will bring the van to you. Other places close to Stratford we cover include Maryland (1 mile east), East Village (1 mile north-west), Temple Mills (1 mile north-west), West Ham (1 mile south-east) and Hackney Wick (1 mile west). We also serve nearby towns such as London (5 miles south-west), City of Westminster (7 miles west), Marylebone (6 miles west), Kensington (9 miles west), St Pancras (5 miles west) and Shoreditch (3 miles west).
Nearby you will also find County Borough of West Ham (less than half a mile south-east) and Queen Mary's Hospital for the East End (within half a mile east). The countryside around Stratford includes Hollow Pond and Old Ford Island.
- Local schools include Carpenters Primary School (less than half a mile south) and Sarah Bonnell School (less than half a mile east)
- Nearby, you will find The Two Puddings pub (within half a mile south-east)
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Tell us about any school or event allergy policies
- Have other stalls for special diets
- Arrange bins and waste collection
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
When the event closes, we pack up.
A few benches near the van help.
What the van needs
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that doesn’t block walkways
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
As a London location, Stratford is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- How many people are eating
- The length of service
- Whether a minimum applies
- The day of the week
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your event.
