How the day works
You will know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first visitors wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. Summer fêtes in Maryland have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September the light goes at about 7:05pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your visitors.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Clear the route for the van
- Let us know the serving time

Community events around Maryland
Maryland is about 3 miles south of Walthamstow, in Greater London. People in Maryland book us for all sorts of reasons, but the plan is always the same: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. Maryland is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover.
Events in parks such as West Ham Park need permission from the council or landowner, and the van needs a firm route onto the pitch. If visitors are coming by train, Stratford (London) station is in Maryland itself.
This part of Greater London takes in E15, E20 and E7, so your event can be anywhere in it. From Cam Road, Ward Road and Wise Road or anywhere nearby, we’ll bring the van to you. Other places close to Maryland we cover include Stratford (1 mile west), East Village (1 mile north-west), Temple Mills (1 mile north-west), West Ham (1 mile south-east) and Holloway Down (1 mile north).

Why choose a fish and chip van in Maryland?
Cold food stalls are fine on a hot day, but hot food is a draw when it is cool. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
Why us?
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Classic food your visitors already know
- Events in Maryland and across Greater London
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Share last year’s numbers if you have them
- Share any nut or allergy policies
- Ensure allergen information is available
Bins near the van help keep the site tidy.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.
Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.

Does the batter contain gluten?

Where the van can park in Maryland
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- A clear route onto the pitch
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
Maryland is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Access and parking
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Numbers
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Where the van would park
- The address or venue name
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, use our quote form.
