- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
Once everyone is fed, we pack up, leaving the pitch tidy.
Put the menu up by the hatch so people decide while they wait.

What’s the nearest station to Westham?

How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.

Do you have allergen information?

What happens when we hire the van?
We bring the van to your event, set up, heat the fryers and cook to order, serving from the hatch at the time you choose.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
- 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
