- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that does not block walkways

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Burger vans are common at events. Fish and chips adds variety. There’s 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 you get with us
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- A quote that spells everything out
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Classic food your visitors already know

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Manor Park
Could you trade in Loxford Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.
Is parking a problem for the van in Manor Park?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can the van come to our fair?
Tell us the date and pitch details and we will check.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
How it works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Your visitors can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. At midsummer, events in Manor Park stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- 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 your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
Ask for a quote
Send us the date, the address or E12 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and we’ll reply with a quote. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.
Planning help
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Ensure allergen information is available

- Share any nut or allergy policies
- Agree the terms in writing
Mark out the queue area away from walkways, especially near rides and games.
Tables and seating nearby help families eat.
