About our fish and chip van hire in Canary Wharf
Because the cooking is in the van, the weather does not stop us. That makes it a safe bet for British events. Typical bookings include garden get-togethers and christmas parties, with sausage and chips, curry sauce and pie and chips.
London streets around Canary Wharf can be narrow and lined with parked cars, which makes off-street parking, such as a drive, a school playground or a car park, the easiest option. Send us a photo of the spot. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

What affects the price in Canary Wharf
These are the factors that matter most:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Service time
- The day of the week
- How far we travel
Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Expected numbers
- The date and time of the event
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of where the van would go
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Put bins and napkins by the van
Once everyone is fed, we pack up.
A gazebo by the van keeps the queue dry.

Canary Wharf: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Canary Wharf?
Canary Wharf has its own station: Canary Wharf station.
Could you trade in Sir John McDougall Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can the van come to Canary Wharf?
We do. We serve events in Canary Wharf and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
Can you feed a lot of people?
It depends on numbers and timings. A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
Is it a full meal?
It can be. Fish and chips with mushy peas is a full meal.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Barbecues cook in batches, and someone has to stand over the grill. With a van, the host gets to enjoy the day. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your event is.
Why Canary Wharf hosts choose us
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Something for guests to gather round
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- No surprises in your quote

The process
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your event in Canary Wharf. Around midsummer it stays light in Canary Wharf until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
Ask for a quote
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.

What else we do in Canary Wharf
Space, access and the venue
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
Canary Wharf 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’ll advise before booking.
