Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Next to a delivery order, the van cooks on site, so it isn’t lukewarm by the time it’s plated. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your care home visit.
Why us?
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Classic food your residents already know
What affects the price in Plaistow Green
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Distance and any road charges
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Parking and the way in
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The date and time of the event
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A picture of where the van would go
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
