Fish and chip van hire in EC1A: what to expect
Queuing at the hatch is half the experience. People gather, catch up and get their food straight from the fryer. We serve pie and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for work Christmas parties and garden parties and summer get-togethers.
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch when you’re ready to eat.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.

A chip van compared with other options
Plated meals need a kitchen and a bigger team. A van needs only a level spot and permission to park, and the food is cooked to order.
What your quote should include
- VAT, if it applies
- What happens if the event is cancelled or moved
- How long service runs, and what happens if you overrun
- The deposit and payment dates
About the food
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and children love it.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Planning the van’s spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A spot near your guests
Questions from EC1A
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Is fish and chips enough as a meal?
Yes. A portion of fish, chips and peas is a proper meal.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
