Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
- Fewer choices mean faster service
- Plan bins near the queue
The fryers take a little while to heat, so we arrive well before service. If timings shift, we adapt.
Tables or benches nearby help people eat comfortably.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The date and time of year
- How long we serve
- The minimum booking
- Access and parking
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Your date and serving time
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Dietary needs, with numbers

A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.
Common questions in Mill Meads
What about parking in Mill Meads?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Which station is closest to Mill Meads?
The closest is West Ham station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
Is it a full meal?
Fish and chips is a meal in itself. Many hosts add their own desserts or cake.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options before you book.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Planners, venues and businesses
Having the party at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
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.
Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
As a London location, Mill Meads is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
