A fish and chip van across WC2N: what to know
From South Bank and Waterloo to 0 villages and hamlets, bookings across WC2N range from town-centre sites to farmyards, and a chip van suits every kind of setting. Town bookings mean planning parking; village bookings mean planning access.
South Bank: Historic houses near South Bank include Benjamin Franklin House (under half a mile north-west) and Marlborough House (0.8 miles west). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on vehicles and caterers early. For a christening or celebration after a service at a church such as St John's Church, the van can serve at a hall or home nearby. Evening events need a little planning for light: in South Bank, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.

It suits relaxed, sociable events, with people coming up to the hatch as they please.

Working with your venue

Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
Is a fish and chip van right for you?
Barbecues cook in batches, and someone has to stand over the grill. With a van, nobody misses the event.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is included
- Any travel, parking or access charges
- When payment is due
- How late numbers can change
Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive in good time, set up, cook and serve, and keep in touch with you about timings.
Put the menu up by the hatch so people decide while they wait.
WC2N questions
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
- 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
