Fish and chip van hire in St George in the East, cooked to order
Rain does not stop a fish and chip van, because the fryers are inside. That makes it a safe bet for British events. We serve mushy peas, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater weddings, especially the evening and staff lunches and team days.
In St George in the East, the van might park on a drive, in a church car park or in a works yard. Tell us how the van gets in, and about any height barriers or narrow gates. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Before you choose a spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A short walk from the party
As a London location, St George in the East is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Put bins and napkins by the van
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
Bins and napkins near the hatch make life easier.
Bunting or festoon lights around the van make it part of the decorations.

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
FAQs for St George in the East
Is parking a problem for the van in St George in the East?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
We’re gathering after a service at St Peter's: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
