Common questions in Tower Hill
What’s the nearest station to Tower Hill?
Tower Hill has its own station: London Fenchurch Street station.
Is parking a problem for the van in Tower Hill?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How big a pitch do you need?
Tell us the pitch size and ground, and we will check it works.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Why choose fish and chip van for events in Tower Hill?
It’s low-maintenance for organisers, because we bring what we need.
Almost any gathering works with a fish and chip van. In Tower Hill, people book us for events such as:
- Fish and chip supper nights
- Food for volunteers
- Sports tournaments
- Village fêtes and summer fairs
School fairs, for a school like The Aldgate School, are a natural fit for a fish and chip van.

Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Planning the van’s spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
- A clear route onto the pitch
As a London location, Tower Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
