Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:

- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The menu and how many choices
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.

West Ham questions
Can the van park in West Ham Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to West Ham?
West Ham station, about 0.5 miles south-west of the centre.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
Do you come to West Ham?
We do. We serve events in West Ham and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac residents when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can everyone take part?
Yes: residents on soft diets can share the occasion with meals from your kitchen.
How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. December visits in West Ham are best at lunchtime, as it is dark by about 3:55pm, while summer visits can run into the evening, with light until about 9:20pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
What the van needs
We will be honest if a spot won’t work, and help find another. The main points are:
- A level parking spot near the entrance
- Clear of ambulance access and emergency routes
- A lit spot for evening service
As a London location, West Ham is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
