Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Buffets are simple but rarely memorable. The van becomes part of the party. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.

- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
- Tell us how many children are coming

For event organisers in Barking
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
How it works
The first sign we have arrived is normally the smell, about the time the first guests wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. In Barking, a June party has light until about 9:20pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:05pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- We start with a few details about your party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Share the timings for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
How to get a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and we will reply with a quote. To get started, fill in our quote form.

Barking: your questions answered
Can the van park in Mayesbrook Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you serve after a service at St Patrick's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How much does a fish and chip van for your party cost in Barking?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Do you need power or water from us?
Let us know about power and water at the house, and we’ll say what we need.
Can the van come to Barking?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Barking is within our area and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
