About our party fish and chip van in Spitalfields
Birthdays, garden parties, anniversaries and christenings all suit a fish and chip van. Everyone from toddlers to grandparents knows what they’re getting. Popular choices include pie and chips, sausage and chips and gravy, and we’re regularly asked to cater get-togethers with old friends and children’s parties.
Throwing a party in Spitalfields? A van means no cooking for you, at home, at a hall or at a club. Tell us about parking permits. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before you book.

What happens on the day
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. A summer party in Spitalfields stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

Planning help
Spitalfields: your questions answered
Can the van park in Finsbury Circus?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Spitalfields?
Spitalfields has its own station: London Liverpool Street station.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Where the van can park in Spitalfields
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
As a London location, Spitalfields is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Spitalfields parties: what to know
Spitalfields is about 1 mile north-east of London, in Greater London. Parties in Spitalfields are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, an agreed spot for the van and food fried fresh on the day. Spitalfields is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover.
Parks such as Finsbury Circus usually need permission from the council or landowner for a catering van, so check first. A christening at Christ Church followed by fish and chips on the drive is a simple, popular plan.
Here we cover the E1, EC2A and E1W postcode area. Streets in the area include New Road, Mark Lane and Bell Lane, and the van can serve a party on any of them with a suitable parking spot. Being close to the A10 and A1202, Spitalfields is simple for us to get to with the van. Neighbouring places where we serve parties include Whitechapel (1 mile east), Aldgate (1 mile south-west), Bishopsgate (1 mile west), Tower Hill (1 mile south) and Shoreditch (1 mile north). Within a short drive, we also cover City of Westminster (3 miles west), Marylebone (3 miles west), Kensington (6 miles west), Walthamstow (5 miles north-east), Hampstead (5 miles north-west) and Ruislip (15 miles west).
A little further out are Tower of London (0.6 miles south) and Museum of Transology (within half a mile north-west). Green spaces nearby include Tower Hill and Lavender Pond.
- Nearby schools include Canon Barnett Primary School (within half a mile east) and London Enterprise Academy (0.5 miles east)
- Nearby, you’ll find Kings Stores pub (less than half a mile north-west)
- Local facilities include Bishopsgate Institute Special Collections and Archives (under half a mile north-west) and Minories (under half a mile south)
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
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.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Put allergy details in writing
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Ensure the van can park legally
When everyone has eaten, we pack up and leave the drive tidy.
A few lights around the van look great.
A closer look at the menu
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with cooking a barbecue yourself, a chip van means nobody is stuck at the grill. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.

For planners, venues and organisers
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Hosting at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
How we price a fish and chip van for your party
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The number of meals
- Whether a minimum applies
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Cod, haddock or both
Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:

- Any dietary needs and allergies
