Your questions about a fish and chip van in Plastow Green
How far is Plastow Green from London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Paul: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
How much does a fish and chip van cost in Plastow Green?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.
Is fish and chips enough as a meal?
Fish and chips is a meal in itself. You can add your own desserts if you like.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

What happens on the day
There is very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your event. We handle the cooking and serving. Evening events need a little planning for light: in Plastow Green, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
