Hosting a chip van party in Collier Row
Collier Row is about 1 mile north of Romford, in Greater London. In and around Collier Row, the van can serve from a drive, a yard, a car park or a firm field, close to your guests. Collier Row is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we bring the van. Our bookings stretch from Collier Row to London (13 miles away).
For party guests on the train, the nearest station is Romford station, about 1.3 miles south. No room for the van at home? A club or hall car park near Collier Row often works.
For parties in RM1, RM5 and RM7, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many guests. That could mean a party at a home on Elm Road, Percy Road and Seymer Road, as long as there is somewhere for the van. For parties just outside Collier Row, we cover Rise Park (1 mile north-east), Romford (1 mile south), Chadwell Heath (2 miles south-west), Rush Green (2 miles south) and Becontree Heath (2 miles south-west). Within a short drive, we also cover London (13 miles south-west), City of Westminster (15 miles west), Marylebone (15 miles west), St Pancras (13 miles west), Shoreditch (12 miles south-west) and Walthamstow (8 miles west).

- Local schools include Marshalls Park Academy (0.5 miles south-east)
- Local pubs include Colley Rowe Inn (0.7 miles north-west)
Step by step
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. A summer party in Collier Row stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

FAQs for Collier Row
Could you trade in Raphael Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Collier Row?
The closest is Romford station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Normally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before you book.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Can you come to a street party?
Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Mention the van in your application.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, and serve as the party carries on.
A few lights around the van look great.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A hog roast is one dish, while a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Why us?
- A clear quote before you book
- A menu almost everyone likes
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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’s fried on the spot.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
- 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
