Common questions in Plaistow Green

Is Plaistow Green close to London?

About 25 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.

Do you come out to small places like Plaistow Green?

No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Is the food cooked at the event?

It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

When should we book for December?

Ideally in the summer or early autumn.

How long will the queue be?

A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.

Can you go on a lawn or field?

Usually, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

Who clears up?

We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.

How much does a fish and chip van for your Christmas party cost in Plaistow Green?

Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?

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.

Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

A chip van compared with other options

A big takeaway order rarely arrives hot. A van cooks on the spot. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.

Why us?

  • A clear quote before you book
  • Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
  • We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
  • Bookings across Windsor and Maidenhead, including Plaistow Green

About the food

Haddock and chips

Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

Sausage and chips

A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.

Working with your venue

Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

The process

Here’s how the day typically runs: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. It gets dark in Plaistow Green by about 3:55pm at Christmas; choose a lit spot near the door for the van.

  1. First, the plan: what, where and what time.
  2. You hear back on the date and the price.
  3. We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
  4. Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
  5. We leave the spot as we found it.

Preparing for the day

  • Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
  • Confirm the van is allowed on site
  • Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
