A closer look at the menu
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- Details of any power or water on site
- A clear route onto the pitch
As a London location, Maze Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a volunteer barbecue, a van means volunteers can enjoy the day. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
Why book with us
- All the chip-shop extras
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- A menu almost everyone likes
- We cover Maze Hill and the whole of Greater London

Common questions in Maze Hill
Do you trade at school fairs around Maze Hill?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Could you trade in East Greenwich Pleasaunce?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you come to Maze Hill?
We do. Maze Hill is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Organising for someone else?
Having the party at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
- Set a time for helpers’ food
- Plan bins near food stalls
- Make sure allergen information is available
Agree a wet-weather pitch on hard standing.

How it works
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot when you’re ready to eat. Summer fêtes in Maze Hill 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.
