Fresh fish and chips in Romford
DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Parking and the way in
- The number of meals
- The length of service

What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
As a London location, Romford is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
