Where the van can park in London Fields
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A spot near your guests
London Fields is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

What affects the price in London Fields

- The length of service
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Larger groups typically cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Try to include:

Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.

Questions from London Fields
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Michael and All Angels?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to London Fields?
London Fields station, in London Fields itself.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
How much does a fish and chip van for your party cost in London Fields?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Will the van fit on our drive?
That depends on the space and the route in. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we will tell you honestly.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Do you do street parties?
Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Tell the council about the van.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
For planners, venues and organisers
