About fish and chip van hire in E2
A fish and chip van works almost anywhere the van can park: a driveway, a car park, a yard or a firm field in and around E2. We serve haddock and chips, cod and chips and curry sauce, and we are frequently booked for fish and chip days at care homes and garden parties and summer get-togethers.
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the space for the van, then send a quote.
- On the day, we park on the agreed spot and set up.
- We cook to order and serve hot at the time you chose.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the spot as we found it.

Planning a chip van in E2
Across E2, we serve 4 towns and 0 villages and hamlets, so whether your event is in Shoreditch, Whitechapel and Bethnal Green or a quiet village, the approach is the same: firm ground, access and agreed timings.
Bethnal Green: Historic houses near Bethnal Green include Sutton House (1.4 miles north) and Mansion House (1.6 miles south-west). Historic venues frequently limit vehicles, so ask early if you’re booking one. Churches such as St Peter's rarely have room for a van, but a hall or home close by normally does. Around midsummer it stays light in Bethnal Green until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.

Comparing caterers
- Any minimum charge
- The deposit and payment dates
- How allergens are handled
- How much space the van takes up
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
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.

Questions from E2
Can we choose cod or haddock?
We serve cod and haddock; we will agree the choice when we quote.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event

- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
