Dagenham Green questions
Which station is closest to Dagenham Green?
Dagenham Green has its own station: Dagenham Dock station.
Could you trade in Parsloes Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options.
Can you serve in the cold?
Not for the cooking. Guests appreciate cover and a short walk.
How early do Christmas dates go?
As soon as you have a date, especially for a Friday.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it’s one dish. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Why us?
- No surprises in your quote
- Bookings across Greater London, including Dagenham Green
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Rain does not stop the fryers

Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
As a London location, Dagenham Green 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’ll say what we think.
From the hatch

For planners, venues and organisers
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Dagenham Green in December: what to know
Dagenham Green is about 1 mile south-west of Dagenham, in Greater London.

We take the van to all 764 towns and villages in Greater London. You can also see our page for London, about 11 miles away.

What else we do in Dagenham Green
Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Send round an allergy question
Keep the walk from the door to the van short, so nobody is out in the cold for long.
A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.
