A chip van compared with other options
Cakes and sandwiches are popular, but hot food is a draw when it is cool. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your event is.
What you get with us
- A menu almost everyone likes
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Something for visitors to gather round
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch when you’re ready to eat. At midsummer, events in Beam Park stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure the van can get in
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Looking after everyone
Most events have a few visitors with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Plan bins near food stalls
- Agree the terms in writing
- Plan something for visitors we cannot cater for
- Display allergens for each stall
If we are feeding volunteers, agree a time that suits the schedule.
Let visitors know there is a chip van.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Beam Park
Which station is closest to Beam Park?
The closest is Dagenham Dock station, roughly 1 mile away.
Do you trade at school fairs around Beam Park?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Do you pay a pitch fee?
That varies: pitch fee, percentage or minimum. We’ll agree terms before the day.
Can you cater for helpers?
Yes, alongside public trading or on its own.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Space for a queue away from paths
- Somewhere firm if it rains
- Details of any power or water on site
As a London location, Beam Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
