Fish and chip van for events in Plashet, cooked to order
When there is hot food, people stay longer, which is good for every other stall. We serve chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for sports days and sports club events and race days.
London street parties and fairs in Plashet need careful planning around road closures and access. Tell us the pitch details and timings. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a volunteer barbecue, a chip van frees your helpers. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
What you get with us
- Something for visitors to gather round
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- No surprises in your quote
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
See our prices page and the cost guide.
What affects the price in Plashet
There is nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- Access and parking
- Whether a minimum applies

- Numbers
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Plashet
Can the van park in West Ham Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first.
Is parking a problem for the van in Plashet?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you come to a school event?
We do. We’ll need a safe route onto the site away from children.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
What does the pitch need?
Send us the pitch details, and we’ll confirm.
Do you do crew food?
Yes. Give us numbers and a time.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.

What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
