Common questions in Hoxton
Is parking a problem for the van in Hoxton?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Anne with St Columba?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you come to Hoxton?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Hoxton and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.

- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Have a level parking spot ready

Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Show us where the van would go
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Mention the van to neighbours
- Tell us how many children are coming
Let the neighbours know the van is coming.
A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.
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 typically simpler.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.
Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
A venue plus caterer can be expensive. With a van, home becomes the venue. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
