Party fish and chip van for your party in Chadwell Heath

In Chadwell Heath, a party at home is the usual choice, and parking is the question. If you have a drive, the van can frequently go there; if not, check the street’s parking rules. A picture helps.

The process

The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Midsummer parties in Chadwell Heath 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.

  1. You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
  2. You get an access check and a clear price.
  3. On the day, we park up and get the fryers going.
  4. Guests come up to the hatch and we fry to order.
  5. We pack up when we are done and leave the pitch tidy.

How to prepare

  • Confirm the van is allowed on site
  • Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
  • Give us your final numbers and allergies

How to compare vans

Takeaway run or book a van?

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.

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 generally simpler.

A closer look at the menu

Pie and chips

Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.

Mushy peas

Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.

Is a fish and chip van right for your party?

A hog roast is pork only, while a chip van gives people a choice. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your party is.

Space, access and the venue

We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:

  • A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
  • Room in front of the hatch for a queue
  • Light near the van and the queue for evening service

Chadwell Heath is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
