About the food
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Before you choose a spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
As a London location, Canning Town 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’ll say what we think before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Distance and any road charges
- Cod, haddock or both
- Service time
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
