Planning an event in Leytonstone?
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.

The van parks in the car park, on the drive or on a firm lawn, away from emergency routes. We serve pie and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater care staff treats and lunch clubs.

The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
A chip van compared with other options
The home’s kitchen can make fish and chips, but a van makes it an event. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

- Firm, level ground close to the home
- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
As a London location, Leytonstone is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
