Fish and chip van hire for your event in Plaistow Green
Fish and chips is generous food: crisp batter, flaky fish and plenty of chips. It turns a meal into an occasion. We serve sausage and chips, gravy and curry sauce, and we’re frequently booked for care home visits and company team days.
For a rural spot like Plaistow Green, the setting does plenty of the work. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

The process
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can get on with your event. Around midsummer it stays light in Plaistow Green until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
How to prepare
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.

The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Distance and any road charges

FAQs for Plaistow Green
Is Plaistow Green close to London?
Roughly 25 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Plaistow Green?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
What happens when we hire the van?
We bring the van to your event, set up, heat the fryers and cook to order, serving from the hatch at the time you choose.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can’t 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 don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
