Questions from Mill Meads
Which station is closest to Mill Meads?
West Ham station, about 0.5 miles east of the centre.
Is parking a problem for the van in Mill Meads?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A cold buffet doesn’t feel festive. Hot fish and chips is. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
What you get with us
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
Take a look at our prices page or the cost guide.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
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 solves that by cooking on site.
The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and children love it.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
