For planners, venues and organisers
Hosting at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.

Party fish and chip van in Heron Quays, cooked to order
There is no need for a venue: the van makes your home the party venue. Popular choices include haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and we are often booked for leaving parties and naming days and christenings.
In Heron Quays, a party at home is the usual choice, and parking is the question. If you have a drive, the van can often go there; if not, check the street’s parking rules. Send us a picture. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Common questions in Heron Quays
We are gathering after a service at St Peter's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can the van park in Sir John McDougall Gardens?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
How early do summer dates go?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.

Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as St Peter's Church, with fish and chips at home or in a hall afterwards. Guests arriving by train should know that there’s a station right in Heron Quays: Canary Wharf station.

What happens on the day
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can get on with your party. Midsummer parties in Heron Quays stay bright until about 9:20pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- 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.

Where the van can park in Heron Quays

- Flat, firm ground for the van

- Somewhere close to where people will eat
Heron Quays is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.

Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
A venue plus caterer can be expensive. A van on the drive keeps it simple. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Questions to ask before booking
- What the van needs: space, access, power
- Whether VAT is included
- What the price includes, item by item
- Whether travel is included
What a fish and chip van costs
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Cod, haddock or both
- How far we travel
- The minimum booking
- How easy the site is to reach
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
What to tell us
The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Please include:
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of the parking spot
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The address or venue name
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can use our quote form.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
