Questions from South Hornchurch
Could you trade in Beam Valley Country Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What about parking in South Hornchurch?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
What will facilities need from you?
Tell us what your site needs when you enquire, and we will go through it with you.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can we pay by invoice?
We’ll talk you through booking and payment.
Do you come to South Hornchurch?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including South Hornchurch and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.

Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
As a London location, South Hornchurch is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
What we serve
- Mushy peas
- Staff lunches
- Cod and chips
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
Step by step
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. In South Hornchurch, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- We start with a few details about your staff event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your staff.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Any minimum charge
- Service time
- How easy the site is to reach
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips

Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
