Fish and chip van for events in Leytonstone, fried fresh
A van suits shows and field events, as long as there is a firm route onto the pitch. Popular choices include haddock and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater fundraisers and music and food festivals.
In Leytonstone, street events mean planning closures and access. Tell us the pitch details and timings. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. Summer fêtes in Leytonstone have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September the light goes at about 7:05pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Make sure the van can get in
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Planning help
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Arrange bins and waste collection
- Display allergens for each stall
- Agree the terms in writing
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
We arrive before the gates open to set up on the pitch, at the agreed time.
A clear route for the van before the gates open avoids problems.

Before you choose a spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- What’s available on the pitch
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
As a London location, Leytonstone is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
