Mile End questions
What’s the nearest station to Mile End?
The closest is Limehouse station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
Could you trade in Mile End Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
What do children eat?
Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include them in your numbers.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
When do you arrive?
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.
Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Check the street’s parking rules
- Count children separately
- A photo of the parking spot helps
When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
Seats or a few tables help people eat comfortably.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Step by step
Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. In Mile End, a June party has light until about 9:20pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you’re eating late.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get an access check and a clear price.
- On the day we arrive, park up and heat the fryers.
- We serve hot from the hatch while the party carries on.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the drive tidy.
Before we arrive
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Make sure the van can get in
- Have a level parking spot ready

Getting an accurate quote
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The date and time of the event
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Each quote is put together for your party. Start with your date, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
What the van needs
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Lighting nearby for evening events
As a London location, Mile End is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Mile End?
Compared with cooking a barbecue yourself, the host isn’t stuck cooking all afternoon. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

About the food
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
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.
