Romford questions
Could you trade in Lodge Farm Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first.
Do you trade at school fairs around Romford?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Do you do festivals?
Yes, where the date suits. Send us the date, location and expected numbers.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can you feed our volunteers and crew?
Yes, at a time that suits your schedule.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
The process
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. December events in Romford lose the light at about 3:50pm, so pitches need lighting; in late May there is light until about 8:50pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
