Fish and chip van hire in East Village, cooked to order
Fish and chip van hire means the chip shop comes to you. We park up, heat the fryers and cook to order, so nothing sits waiting in a tray. For birthday celebrations and community events and fairs, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce.
London streets around East Village 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. Tell us what you have. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

East Village questions
Is parking a problem for the van in East Village?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
Which station is closest to East Village?
East Village has its own station: Stratford International station.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
Does a chip van work for big events?
Frequently, yes. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan it with you.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including East Village.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
A chip van compared with other options
Plated meals need a kitchen and a bigger team. A fish and chip van needs a level spot and permission to park, and the food is cooked to order. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
The process
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. Evenings in East Village stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the space for the van, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, park up and heat the fryers.
- We cook to order and serve hot at the time you chose.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

Planning help
Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A short walk from the party
- A clear area by the serving hatch
As a London location, East Village is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we serve
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Curry sauce
- Mushy peas
- Chips
- Gravy
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Planners, venues and businesses
Organising a club, school or community event in East Village? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Numbers
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How long we serve
- The minimum booking
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Expected numbers
- A picture of the space and the way in
- The spot you have in mind for the van

- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
After service, we pack up.
Somewhere to sit or lean makes fish and chips easier to eat.
