Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Stepney
Can the van park in Stepney Green Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first.
Is parking a problem for the van in Stepney?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
How far ahead should we book a party?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Is grass a problem?
Normally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Send us a photo of the drive
- Mention the van to neighbours
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Send allergies to us in writing
We park on the agreed spot and set up, and serve as the party carries on.
Seats or a few tables help people eat comfortably.

What else we do in Stepney
Step by step
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. Autumn and winter parties in Stepney get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so think about lighting by the van.
- We start with a few details about your party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Planners, venues and businesses
Hosting at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
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.
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. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Space, access and the venue
We will be honest if a spot won’t work, and help find another. The main points are:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Flat, firm ground for the van
As a London location, Stepney 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.
What we serve
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Gravy
- Cod and chips
- Chips
- Curry sauce
- Mushy peas
- Pie and chips
The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
