Space, access and the venue

- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Space for people to queue at the hatch

Bloomsbury 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’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Bloomsbury
Can the van park in Lincoln's Inn Fields?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can you serve after a service at St George the Martyr Holborn?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children generally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Bringing the van to Bloomsbury
Bloomsbury is about 1 mile north-east of City of Westminster, in Greater London. Bookings in Bloomsbury come in all shapes and sizes, but the plan is always the same: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. We cover 764 places in Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages.
Nearby historic houses include Dr Johnson's House (0.9 miles south-east) and Benjamin Franklin House (1.1 miles south). Estates like these tend to have strict rules for vans, so check before booking. For anyone arriving by rail, the closest railway station is London Euston station, roughly 0.6 miles north-west of the centre.
We take the van to events all over NW1W, W1T and NW1 and the streets around it. Streets in the area include Drury Lane, Euston Road and Duke's Road, and the van can serve an event on any of them with a suitable parking spot. You will find Bloomsbury on the A401 and A501, so it’s easy for us to reach with the van. Neighbouring places where we serve events include St Pancras (1 mile north-east), Euston (1 mile north-west), Kings Cross (1 mile north), Holborn (1 mile east) and Fitzrovia (1 mile west). Within a short drive, we also cover Kensington (4 miles south-west), Walthamstow (6 miles north-east), Hampstead (3 miles north-west), Ruislip (13 miles west), Brompton (3 miles south-west) and Stockwell (4 miles south).
Other landmarks nearby include Pilsudski Institute of London (less than half a mile north-west) and Montfichet's Tower (1.2 miles south-east). Open spaces near Bloomsbury include Barnsbury Wood and Ludgate Hill.
- Schools near Bloomsbury include St George the Martyr Church of England Primary School (within half a mile east) and Maria Fidelis Catholic School FCJ (0.6 miles north-west)
- Pubs nearby include Queens Larder Public House (under half a mile south-east)
- Other local spots include Metropolitan Borough of Holborn (less than half a mile south)
Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Count children separately
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
The oil needs time to come up to temperature, so we get there in good time. If plans change, tell us and we will adjust.
Put the menu up by the hatch so people decide while they wait.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- How many people are eating
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The date and time of year
- Access and parking
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- The date and time of the event
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where you’d like the van to go
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: tell us the basics about your event, and we will quote on that. To start, use our quote form.
Why choose fish and chip van hire in Bloomsbury?
Everyone knows what they’re getting.
These are some of the bookings we take in Bloomsbury and Greater London:
- Weddings and evening receptions
- Fêtes, fairs and school events
- Summer garden parties
- Wakes and gatherings after a funeral
Parks such as Lincoln's Inn Fields normally need permission from the council or landowner for a catering van, so check first.
Questions to ask before you book
- The minimum number of meals or minimum spend
- How many hours the van serves
- Allergen information for each item
- Whether VAT is included
What happens on the day
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. Around midsummer it stays light in Bloomsbury until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Make sure the van can get in

Planning help
Organising for someone else?
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Having the party at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Bloomsbury?
With a barbecue, somebody ends up cooking all afternoon. With a van, nobody misses the event. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- A quote that spells everything out
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
