Is a fish and chip van right for your event?

Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
Chadwell Heath 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.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
What happens on the day
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Light matters for evening service: in Chadwell Heath, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
