The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.

Questions from Chingford Hatch
What’s the nearest station to Chingford Hatch?
The closest is Highams Park station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Could you trade in The Highams Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Before you choose a spot
If a spot isn’t suitable, we will tell you. What matters most:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
As a London location, Chingford Hatch is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
