Fish and chip van hire in Redbridge, fried fresh

Fish and chips is the meal almost everyone in Britain knows and likes. That is why a van works for so many kinds of event in Redbridge. We serve curry sauce, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater fish and chip days at care homes and work Christmas parties.

Streets in Redbridge are frequently tight, so a drive, yard or car park is generally simplest. Send us a picture of the spot. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

Prices and what affects them

Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:

Any minimum charge
Service time
Distance and any road charges
Access and parking

Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.

What to tell us

Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:

The address or venue name
Where the van would park
The date and time of the event
Allergies and diets you know about

Not sure of numbers yet? That is fine: tell us the basics about your event, and we will firm it up nearer the time. Start when you are ready: send us your details through our quote form.

Allergies and dietary needs

We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:

Collect allergies with your RSVPs
Tell us how many children are coming
Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
Put bins and napkins by the van

Keep the menu short and the queue moves quickly, especially when everyone wants to eat at once.

A chalkboard by the hatch with the menu keeps the queue moving.

What comes out of the fryer

Mushy peas

Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.

Pie and chips

Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and get on with frying and serving. Evenings in Redbridge stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.

Planning help

How much does a fish and chip van cost to hire?

Before you choose a spot

We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:

Space for people to queue at the hatch
The site’s agreement to a catering van
A short walk from the party

As a London location, Redbridge is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

What’s on the menu?

Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.

Can you feed a lot of people?

Often, yes. Give us your numbers and service time, and we will plan it with you.

What do you bring?

We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.

Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.

A fish and chip van or other catering?

A cold buffet is simple, but food sits out, and nothing’s hot on a cool evening. Fish and chips is fried to order and served hot. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
