A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:

Fish and chip van hire in Manor Park, fried fresh
Hiring a fish and chip van brings the chip shop to your door. We park up, heat the fryers and cook to order, so every portion goes out hot and crisp. We are frequently asked to cater garden parties and summer get-togethers and company team days, serving cod and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips.
London streets around Manor Park can be narrow and lined with parked cars, so a drive, yard or car park is usually simplest. Tell us what you have. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
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.
Questions from Manor Park
We are gathering after a service at St Mary's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Could you trade in Loxford Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Does a chip van work for big events?
It depends on numbers and timings. A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
