Events we cater in Greenwich
On a grey day, hot fish and chips wins, and the cooking carries on inside the van whatever the weather.
We are booked for all kinds of occasions in Greenwich and nearby. Some of the most common are:
- Fish and chip days at care homes
- Community events and fairs
- Company team days
- Birthday celebrations
A green space like Island Gardens is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, typically the council’s.

Fish and chip van hire in Greenwich, cooked to order
There is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. All it needs is a level spot it can reach, which most drives, car parks and yards can offer. For evening wedding food and staff thank-you lunches, we can cook gravy, cod and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
In Greenwich, the van might park on a drive, in a church car park or in a works yard. Tell us how the van gets in. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Planning a chip van in Greenwich
Greenwich is about 4 miles east of London, in Greater London. For events in Greenwich, the van can park on drives, in car parks and yards, and on firm lawns and fields in and around Greenwich. Greenwich is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover.
For a christening or celebration after a service at a church such as St Mary's Church or St. Paul's, the van can serve at a hall or home nearby. Among the historic houses close to Greenwich are Queen's House (less than half a mile north-west) and Eltham Palace (3.1 miles south-east). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on vehicles and caterers early.
For events in SE10, SE3 and SE8, we just need to know where the van can park and a serving time. Streets in the area include Cade Road, Webb Road and Creek Road, and the van can serve an event on any of them with a suitable parking spot. Being close to the A2203 and A2211, Greenwich is easy for us to reach. Neighbouring places where we serve events include Maze Hill (1 mile north-east), Vanbrugh Park Estate (1 mile east), Blackheath (1 mile south-east), Westcombe Park (1 mile east) and Isle of Dogs (1 mile north-west). We also serve nearby towns such as London (4 miles west), City of Westminster (7 miles west), Marylebone (7 miles west), Kensington (9 miles west), St Pancras (6 miles north-west) and Shoreditch (5 miles north-west).
Other landmarks nearby include Royal Observatory (less than half a mile south) and Greenwich Castle (under half a mile south-west). Within reach you will find Tower Hill and Creekside Discovery Centre.
- Local schools include John Roan School (under half a mile east) and Royal School of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering (under half a mile north-west)
- Nearby, you’ll find The Plume of Feathers pub (under half a mile north)
- Local facilities include Nunhead (2.5 miles west)
How the day works
You’ll know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first guests wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. Around midsummer it stays light in Greenwich until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- 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.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day

Before you choose a spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A spot near your guests
As a London location, Greenwich is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

- Cod and chips
- Gravy

FAQs for Greenwich
Can you serve after a service at St Mary's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Greenwich?
Maze Hill station, in Greenwich itself.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can the van park on grass?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
Can you feed plenty of people?
Often, yes. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll tell you honestly how service will work.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
