How our fish and chip van hire works in Hornchurch Marshes
The van needs no kitchen, no hall and no crockery. It needs a level, firm spot to park and a clear way in, which most drives, car parks and yards can offer. Whether it’s festive get-togethers and company team days, we can cook sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips for your guests.
Around Hornchurch Marshes, 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 tell us about driveways, parking bays or a council suspension when you ask for a quote. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Other occasions in Hornchurch Marshes
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
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.
How the day works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. In Hornchurch Marshes, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:50pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

A fish and chip van or other catering?
