Fresh fish and chips in Leyton Grange
What happens on the day
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Leyton Grange: sunset is about 3:50pm, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- First, tell us about your shoot.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for the crew.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive

Before you choose a spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
- Level, firm ground at base
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
Leyton Grange 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.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

A chip van compared with other options

Why book with us
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Bookings across Greater London, including Leyton Grange
- A clear quote before you book
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The length of service
- The menu and how many choices
- Distance and any road charges
- Numbers
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where you’d like the van to go
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can use our quote form.
Leyton Grange questions
Could you trade in Leyton Jubilee Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What’s the nearest station to Leyton Grange?
Leyton Midland Road station, about 0.6 miles north-east of the centre.
Who clears up?

Can you park at the unit base?
Usually, if there is level, firm ground. We will agree the spot with your location manager.
