Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
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.
A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
- A short menu helps everyone
Fish and chips is best eaten straight away, so we fry to order as the queue moves.
Tell people when the van opens, so they do not miss out.
Who books fish and chip van hire in Kingsland?

A chip van compared with other options
Ordering a takeaway for a crowd means long waits and food that cools on the journey. The van cooks right there, so the batter is still crisp. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

What happens on the day
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Around midsummer it stays light in Kingsland until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

What else we do in Kingsland
Your questions about a fish and chip van in Kingsland
Can you serve after a service at Holy Trinity Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can the van park in Shoreditch Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Is it a full meal?
It is a full meal on its own. Many hosts add their own desserts or cake.
Can the van come to Kingsland?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Kingsland. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Cod or haddock?
We serve cod and haddock; tell us which you’d like for your event.
