About our fish and chip van hire in Goodmayes
Keep it simple, or plan every detail: a van that serves as people arrive, or service at a set time. We’ll suggest what suits your event. Typical bookings include visits to care homes and day centres and wakes and gatherings after a funeral, serving cod and chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce.
Streets in Goodmayes are often 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. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

Step by step
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. In Goodmayes, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:50pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Organising for someone else?
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
Goodmayes is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.

Questions from Goodmayes
What’s the nearest station to Goodmayes?
Goodmayes has its own station: Goodmayes station.
Could you trade in South Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before you book.
Can fish and chips be the only food?
Yes. A portion of fish, chips and peas is a proper meal, and you can add your own cake or desserts.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Can we choose cod or haddock?
Both are on our menu; we will agree the choice when we quote.
