Party fish and chip van in Whitechapel, fried fresh
A chip van also works for street parties, with the right permissions in place. Whether it’s engagement parties and retirement celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips for your guests.
Most parties in Whitechapel are at home, and in London that usually means a drive or street parking. A drive is ideal; otherwise, check what’s allowed on the street. A photo helps. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.

Questions from Whitechapel
We’re gathering after a service at St Mary Matfelon: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is parking a problem for the van in Whitechapel?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
Can you come to a street party?
Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Mention the van in your application.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Do you come to Whitechapel?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Whitechapel. For a quote, use our quote form.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically

- Send allergies to us in writing
- Have a back-up for special diets
We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, then serve as guests come up.
Somewhere to sit makes eating easier.
What a fish and chip van costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- How far we travel
- Your choice of menu
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How long we serve
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Where the van would park
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of the space and the way in
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Organising a club, school or community event in Whitechapel? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
- 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
