About our fish and chip van hire in Stratford
Queuing at the hatch is half the experience. People gather, catch up and get their food straight from the fryer. Whether it is wakes and celebrations of life and christmas parties, we will put together a menu of gravy, sausage and chips and pie and chips.
London streets around Stratford can be narrow and lined with parked cars, so a drive, yard or car park is generally simplest. Tell us what you have. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Ordering a takeaway for a crowd means long waits and food that cools on the journey. The van cooks right there, so the batter is still crisp. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.

For event organisers in Stratford
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Plan bins near the queue
- Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
After service, we pack up, quietly and quickly.
A string of bunting by the van makes a lovely photo.
Space, access and the venue
If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you. What matters most:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
Stratford is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
- 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
