In St George in the East, a party at home is the usual choice, and parking is the question. A drive is ideal; otherwise, check what’s allowed on the street. Send us a picture. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Planning a party in St George in the East
St George in the East is about 1 mile south-east of Whitechapel, in Greater London. Bookings in St George in the East come in all shapes and sizes, but the plan is always the same: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. We cover all 764 towns and villages across Greater London.
After a christening at a church like St Peter's, a chip van at home is an easy way to feed family and friends. Parks such as William Curtis Ecological Park usually need permission from the council or landowner for a catering van, so check first.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
- 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
