What else we do in Chingford Mount
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. In winter, it is dark in Chingford Mount by about 3:50pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting near the van. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for family and friends.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Chingford Mount questions
Could you trade in The Highams Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is parking a problem for the van in Chingford Mount?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Can the van come to Chingford Mount?
Yes, we do. Chingford Mount is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
What if timings change?
Of course. We serve when people are ready.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A formal meal does not always suit. Fish and chips lets people mingle. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- All the chip-shop extras
- Bookings across Greater London, including Chingford Mount

Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
