Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Cold food stalls are fine on a hot day, but hot food brings people in on cooler days. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips

Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
For event organisers in Seven Kings
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Display allergens for each stall
- Share pitch details
- Plan bins near food stalls
- Share any nut or allergy policies
We arrive before the gates open to set up on the pitch, at the agreed time.
Tables and seating nearby help families eat.
Space, access and the venue
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
- A queue area clear of rides and games
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
As a London location, Seven Kings is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
