A chip van near Stoke Newington
Fish and chip van hire in Stoke Newington, fried fresh
Keep it simple, or plan every detail: open service, or food at a fixed time. We’ll suggest what suits your event. Whether it’s wakes and celebrations of life and visits to care homes and day centres, we can cook mushy peas, pie and chips and curry sauce for your guests.
In a London neighbourhood like Stoke Newington, the van generally parks on a drive, in a car park or yard, or on a street with the right permission. The thing to plan is where the van stops, so let us know about off-street space or permits. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many people are eating
- Parking and the way in
- Cod, haddock or both
- Distance and any road charges
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. A short menu is frequently the best value.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Where the event is
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Your date and serving time
Send us the date, the address or N16 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and you’ll get a clear price. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
There’s very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your event. The frying and serving are down to us. Around midsummer it stays light in Stoke Newington 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’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Share the timings for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
How to get a price

Stoke Newington is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Stoke Newington
Which station is closest to Stoke Newington?
Stoke Newington station, about 0.5 miles east of the centre.
Is parking a problem for the van in Stoke Newington?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What happens when we hire the van?
The van parks at your venue, we fry fresh and serve from the hatch.
Do you cover Stoke Newington?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Stoke Newington and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Barbecues cook in batches, and someone has to stand over the grill. With a van, the host gets to enjoy the day. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.
