About our fish and chip van hire in Isle of Dogs
Rain does not stop a fish and chip van, because the fryers are inside. That makes it a safe bet for British events. Whether it is village fêtes and school fairs and fish and chip days at care homes, we’ll put together a menu of curry sauce, cod and chips and pie and chips for your guests.
In Isle of Dogs, the van might park on a drive, in a church car park or in a works yard. Let us know about the route in, and about any height barriers or narrow gates. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before booking.

FAQs for Isle of Dogs
Which station is closest to Isle of Dogs?
Greenwich station, about 0.7 miles south of the centre.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Nicholas?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What is fish and chip van hire?
We arrive with the van, fry everything to order, and serve when you are ready to eat.
Does a chip van work for big events?
It depends on numbers and timings. A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Planning the van’s spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
As a London location, Isle of Dogs 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’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Give us separate numbers for children
You shouldn’t have to worry about the food on the day. We arrive in good time, set up, cook and serve, and stay in touch about any changes.
Let everyone know when the food is ready.
Planning a chip van in Isle of Dogs
Isle of Dogs is about 1 mile north-west of Greenwich, in Greater London. Whether your event is in the middle of Isle of Dogs or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. Isle of Dogs is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover.
If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like Harbinger Primary School, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. If you had Mudchute Park and Farm in mind, ask the council or landowner first: vans can’t simply park up and serve in a public park.

Other occasions in Isle of Dogs
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
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.
The process
We don’t cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. Evenings in Isle of Dogs stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it is dark, we need light by the hatch and the queue.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
