About our fish and chip van hire in Mile End
Rain doesn’t stop a fish and chip van, because the fryers are inside. That makes it a safe bet for British events. Whether it is Fêtes, fairs and school events and work Christmas parties, we can cook curry sauce, haddock and chips and sausage and chips for your guests.
In Mile End, the van might park on a drive, in a church car park or in a works yard. Let us know about the route in. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Next to a hog roast, a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies rather than one dish, which helps if some guests don’t eat pork. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.
What you get with us
- Classic food your guests already know
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side

Where the van can park in Mile End
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Confirmation that the van can park there
Mile End is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
From the hatch
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Pie and chips
- Mushy peas
- Gravy
- Sausage and chips
- Chips
- Curry sauce
How it works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, which we agree with you beforehand. Light matters for evening service: around Mile End, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- 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.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Make sure the van can get in
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Get permission for the van from the venue
How to get a price
Send us the date, the address or E3 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and you’ll get a clear price. Just use our quote form.

Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Mile End questions
What about parking in Mile End?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
We are gathering after a service at Holy Trinity Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Which fish do you use?
Let us know which you’d prefer and we will confirm what we can offer.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Mile End.
