How we price a fish and chip van for your party
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance and any road charges
- The menu and how many choices
- Access and parking
- How long we serve
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.

Party venues around Bishopsgate
Bishopsgate is about 1 mile north-east of London, in Greater London. People in Bishopsgate book us for all sorts of reasons, but the plan is always the same: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. Bishopsgate is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover.
Among the historic houses close to Bishopsgate are Mansion House (under half a mile south-west) and Dr Johnson's House (1.1 miles west). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on vehicles and caterers, so for most parties a home or hired hall is simpler. If you had Finsbury Circus in mind, ask the council or landowner first: vans can’t simply park up and serve in a public park.
We serve parties across E1, EC2A and EC1Y. Whether your party is on Bush Lane, Swan Lane and Love Lane or a nearby road, we will bring the van to you. Main roads around Bishopsgate include the A3 and A10, so getting the van to your party is simple. We also bring the van to parties in Aldgate (1 mile south-east), Spitalfields (1 mile east), City of London (1 mile west), Tower Hill (1 mile south) and Whitechapel (1 mile east). Within a short drive, we also cover City of Westminster (3 miles west), Marylebone (3 miles west), Kensington (5 miles west), Walthamstow (5 miles north-east), Hampstead (5 miles north-west) and Ruislip (15 miles west).

Is a fish and chip van right for your party?

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Bishopsgate
What’s the nearest station to Bishopsgate?
London Liverpool Street station, in Bishopsgate itself.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Ethelburga: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you park at our house?
Frequently, yes, with a level drive and a clear way in. Send us a photo and tell us about gates and branches.
Do you cover Bishopsgate?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Bishopsgate and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Is there a kids’ option?
Sausage and chips, typically. Let us know numbers and ages.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
