How the day works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. Midsummer parties in Bakers Arms stay bright until about 9:20pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Any minimum charge
- Distance and any road charges
- The menu and how many choices
- Access and parking
Larger groups usually cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The date and when you’d like to eat
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Mention the van to neighbours
- Show us where the van would go
- Count children separately
With children, food about an hour in works well.
Finish with the birthday cake.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.

Planning the van’s spot

- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A clear area by the serving hatch
As a London location, Bakers Arms is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Questions from Bakers Arms
Which station is closest to Bakers Arms?
Leyton Midland Road station, about 0.5 miles south-east of the centre.
We are gathering after a service at St Stephen's: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you come to a street party?
Yes, where the council allows it. Start the road closure application early.
How early do summer dates go?
As early as you can for summer weekends. Ask about your date.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Hosting at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
