If the van can park there, we can fry there: a drive, a car park, a yard, a showground or a firm lawn in and around Castle Green. Popular choices include sausage and chips, gravy and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for visits to care homes and day centres and gatherings after a funeral.
Around Castle Green, most London bookings are at homes with a drive, workplaces with a car park, schools and halls. Parking is the main thing to plan, so let us know about off-street space or permits. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
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 fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with a hog roast, a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies rather than one dish, which suits guests who don’t eat pork. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Castle Green
Can the van park in Mayesbrook Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first.
Which station is closest to Castle Green?
The closest is Barking Riverside station, roughly 1 mile away.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Is it a full meal?
It can be. A portion of fish, chips and peas is a proper meal, and you can add your own cake or desserts.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can the van come to Castle Green?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Castle Green is within our area and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, use our quote form.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
How we price a fish and chip van
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Whether a minimum applies
- The number of meals
- Parking and the way in
- Travel, tolls and road charges
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- The address or venue name
- A picture of where the van would go
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The date and time of the event
Not sure of numbers yet? That’s fine: tell us the basics about your event, and we will quote on that. Start when you’re ready: fill in our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A spot near your guests
As a London location, Castle Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
