Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

At a small fête, one good trader may be all you need, with cakes and teas alongside. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Three Mills

What about parking in Three Mills?

London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.

Do you trade at school fairs around Three Mills?

Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.

Is grass a problem?

Typically, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

What’s on the menu?

Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.

How fast is service?

A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.

What do we need to supply?

Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.

Do you trade at schools?

Yes, with the school’s permission for the van on site. Send us the date and the spot.

Which areas do you serve?

We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.

About the food

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

Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.

Takeaway run or book a van?

Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.

  • A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
  • The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
  • Details of any power or water on site

Three Mills is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

How we price a fish and chip van for your event

Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:

  • Whether a minimum applies
  • Service time
  • The number of meals
  • How far we travel

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.

Getting an accurate quote

You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:

  • Anything awkward about the way in
  • Roughly how many people, including children
  • The venue or postcode
  • A picture of where the van would go

We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can fill in our quote form.

Step by step

Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. Summer events in Three Mills have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.

  1. It starts with your event and pitch details.
  2. You get our pitch needs and a quick answer on availability.
  3. We arrive at the agreed time and set up on the pitch.
  4. We trade from the hatch all event, frying to order.
  5. We clear the pitch when the event closes.

Preparing for the day

  • Have a level parking spot ready
  • Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
  • Name one person we can call on the day

How to get a price

Send us the date, the address or E3 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and we will reply with a quote. To get started, fill in our quote form.
