What affects the price in Plashet
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- How far we travel
- The menu and how many choices
- The number of meals
- Whether a minimum applies
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
What we need to know
The more we know about your Christmas party, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Where the van would park
- The venue or postcode
- Allergies and diets you know about
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, fill in our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:

FAQs for Plashet
Is parking a problem for the van in Plashet?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Can the van park in West Ham Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Will the weather be a problem?
We cook inside the van, so the weather doesn’t stop us. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.

The van suits big events and small ones. Typical bookings include:

- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
