Corporate fish and chip catering in Little Ilford, fried fresh

London work events in Little Ilford often run to a tight lunch break, so we plan service to feed people fast. Tell us about site access and parking. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

What the van needs
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Flat, firm ground for the van
Little Ilford is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Little Ilford?

- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Planning help
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Share the shift pattern
- Consider a pre-order list
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Send round an allergy question
Plan the queue away from vehicle routes in the car park or yard.
A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.
Common questions in Little Ilford
Can the van park in Loxford Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to Little Ilford?
Manor Park station, in Little Ilford itself.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
Can you park in our car park or yard?
That is up to your site, but car parks and yards usually work well.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
What will facilities need from you?
Every site asks for something different, so ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
