Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form
It helps to have bins and napkins by the van for everyone.
Somewhere to sit or lean makes fish and chips easier to eat.
Fish and chip van hire for your event in Eastbury
There is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. All it needs is a level spot it can reach, which most drives, car parks and yards can offer. For garden parties and summer get-togethers and big birthdays, we can cook mushy peas, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
Streets in Eastbury are frequently tight, which makes off-street parking, such as a drive, a school playground or a car park, the easiest option. Tell us what you have. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before booking.

What else we do in Eastbury
Eastbury questions
Which station is closest to Eastbury?
Carpenders Park station, about 1.4 miles east of the centre.
Could you trade in King George V Playing Fields?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can we choose cod or haddock?
Tell us your preference when you book and we’ll confirm what we can offer.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
Step by step
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. Late September evenings in Eastbury lose the light at about 7:05pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Let us know the serving time
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

A fish and chip van in Eastbury: local details
Eastbury is in Greater London. For events in Eastbury, we plan around your venue and timings: a quote, a parking spot and fresh frying on the day. We serve all 764 towns and villages in Greater London. We serve events right across the region, from Eastbury to London (about 16 miles away).
If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like Eastbury Farm Primary School, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. Parks such as King George V Playing Fields generally need permission from the council or landowner for a catering van, so check first.
Anywhere in HA6, we can fry fresh for your guests. Your event could be at a house on Altair Way, Capella Road and Avior Drive or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere for the van.

- Expected numbers
- Where the event is
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, use our quote form.
Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Where the van can park in Eastbury
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Lighting nearby for evening events
As a London location, Eastbury is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
