A fish and chip van or other catering?
A big takeaway order rarely arrives hot. The van fries on site. 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.

How it works
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. At about 3:50pm in late December, it gets dark in Little Ilford; light the path to the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture 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 your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Clear the route for the van
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
How to get a price
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
What affects the price in Little Ilford
These are the factors that matter most:
- Service time
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Whether a minimum applies
- How many people are eating
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Anything awkward about the way in
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A short walk from the party
- Lighting nearby for evening events
As a London location, Little Ilford is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
On the menu in Little Ilford

Little Ilford questions
Is parking a problem for the van in Little Ilford?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Can the van park in Loxford Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Where can the van park?
Not much: 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.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
Do you do Christmas markets?
Yes, it is a popular stall. Send us the details.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
