Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically

Once everyone is fed, we pack up, quietly and quickly.
Bunting or festoon lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
Fish and chip van hire in Sewardstone, cooked to order
The queue at the hatch is part of the fun. People gather, catch up and get their food straight from the fryer. We serve pie and chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce, and we are regularly asked to cater gatherings after a funeral and evening wedding food.
In Sewardstone, the van might park on a drive, in a church car park or in a works yard. Let us know about the route in. Everything is fried fresh at your event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Sewardstone: your questions answered
Can the van park in Lee Valley Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What about parking in Sewardstone?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Is it a full meal?
Fish and chips is a meal in itself. You can add your own desserts if you like.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Prices and what affects them
We will give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Your choice of menu
- How far we travel
- The number of meals
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. A short menu is frequently the best value.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Your date and serving time
- A picture of where the van would go
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Step by step
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. Late September evenings in Sewardstone lose the light at about 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:50pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
How to get a price

Planning help
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
As a London location, Sewardstone is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
