Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.
Planners, venues and businesses
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
What affects the price in Silvertown
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance and any road charges
- Access and parking
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.

Common questions in Silvertown
Is parking a problem for the van in Silvertown?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
Could you trade in Thames Barrier Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
How much does a fish and chip van for your Christmas party cost in Silvertown?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Generally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
We do. Send us your date and site details as early as you can.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
