Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- How long we serve
- The menu and how many choices
- Whether a minimum applies
- How far we travel
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- A picture of the parking spot
- The address or venue name
- Where the van would park
- Your date and serving time
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.

FAQs for Leyton
What’s the nearest station to Leyton?
Leyton Midland Road station, in Leyton itself.
Can the van park in Leyton Jubilee Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you work to the call sheet?
We expect changes. A contact on the day is all we need.
Can you feed supporting artists too?
Yes, include them in numbers. Tell us the day before.
Can you go on a lawn or field?

What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Planning the van’s spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
- Permission for the van at base
- A level, firm spot at the unit base
Leyton 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
What we serve

- Mushy peas

Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
