Sewardstonebury is about 2 miles north-east of Chingford, in Greater London. Wherever your event is in the E4 area, we can fry fresh for your visitors. We serve all 764 towns and villages across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is London, about 11 miles away.
A summer fête at Chingford United Reformed Church is the classic setting for a fish and chip van. Events in parks such as Lee Valley Park need permission from the council or landowner, and the van needs a firm route onto the pitch.
This part of Greater London takes in E4. From Farm End and Bury Road or anywhere nearby, we can park up and fry there. Close by, we cover events in Waltham Forest (1 mile south-east), Sewardstone (1 mile north), Chingford (2 miles south-west), Friday Hill (2 miles south) and Chingford Hatch (2 miles south). We also serve nearby towns such as London (11 miles south-west), City of Westminster (11 miles south-west), Marylebone (11 miles south-west), Kensington (13 miles south-west), St Pancras (10 miles south-west) and Shoreditch (9 miles south-west).

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
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.
Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Share pitch details
- Agree who removes waste
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Give us an idea of numbers
Crew food is served at the agreed time.
A sign at the entrance tells visitors hot food is available.
How it works
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your event. For an evening event in Sewardstonebury, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Chingford station, about 0.8 miles south of the centre.
Do you trade at school fairs around Sewardstonebury?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.

Can you cater for helpers?
We can. Tell us how many and when, and we’ll quote.
What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- What’s available on the pitch
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
- A clear route onto the pitch
Sewardstonebury is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
