The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and children love it.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Access and parking
- The menu and how many choices
- Service time
- How many people are eating
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.

Beckton questions
Can the van park in Beckton District Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is parking a problem for the van in Beckton?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What about residents on soft diets?
The home knows each resident best. Tell us about any diets and we will explain what we can offer; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.
Can you do smaller portions for residents?
Tell us what you need and we will plan portion sizes with your team.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Beckton.

Before you choose a spot

- A level parking spot near the entrance
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
- A route in without tight gates
As a London location, Beckton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
