Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
How we price a fish and chip van for your event
These are the factors that matter most:
- How far we travel
- The length of service
- Parking and the way in

How it works
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can get on with your event in Dagenham Green. December events in Dagenham Green lose the light at about 3:50pm, so we need a lit pitch; spring events have light until about 8:50pm by late May.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
