How our fish and chip van hire works in Wallend
There is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. All it needs is a level spot it can reach, which most drives, car parks and yards can offer. Popular choices include curry sauce, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater milestone birthday parties and weddings, especially the evening.
Around Wallend, most London bookings are at homes with a drive, workplaces with a car park, schools and halls. The thing to plan is where the van stops, so tell us about driveways, parking bays or a council suspension when you ask for a quote. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before you book.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
About the food
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and children love it.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.

Evenings in Wallend stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it is dark, we need light by the hatch and the queue.

Bringing the van to Wallend
Wallend is about 1 mile west of Barking, in Greater London. For events in Wallend, the van can park on drives, in car parks and yards, and on firm lawns and fields in and around Wallend. We cover all 764 towns and villages across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from Wallend to London (7 miles away).
After a service at St John the Baptist's Church, the van can be waiting at a nearby hall or house. Parks such as Loxford Park usually need permission from the council or landowner for a catering van, so check first.
For events in E6, IG11 and E12, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many guests. From Hall Road, Quay Road and Ascot Road or anywhere nearby, we can park up and fry there. You will find Wallend on the A117, so it is easy for us to reach with the van. Nearby, we also serve events in East Ham (1 mile south-west), Plashet (1 mile north-west), Upton Park (1 mile west), Manor Park (1 mile north) and Beckton (1 mile south). Larger places within reach include London (7 miles west), City of Westminster (9 miles west), Marylebone (9 miles west), Kensington (12 miles west), St Pancras (8 miles west) and Shoreditch (6 miles west).
Well-known places in the area include East Ham (within half a mile west) and Greenwich Castle (4.7 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include Hollow Pond and Ripple Nature Reserve.
- Local schools include Langdon School (within half a mile south-east) and Tyndale Academy (1.4 miles north-west)
- Local pubs include Dukes Head Public House (within half a mile north)
What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The number of meals
- How far we travel
- The date and time of year
- The length of service
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The address or venue name
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A photo of the space and the way in
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
Where the van can park in Wallend
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- A short walk from the party
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
As a London location, Wallend 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 will advise.

Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Have a back-up for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Confirm allergies by email
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We park, set up, fry and serve, and keep in touch with you about timings.
A chalkboard by the hatch with the menu keeps the queue moving.
Your questions about a fish and chip van in Wallend
Could you trade in Loxford Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
We’re gathering after a service at St John the Baptist's Church: 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.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Can the van come to Wallend?
Yes, we do. Wallend is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Can we choose cod or haddock?
Both are on our menu; we will agree the choice when we quote.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
