Dagenham Green questions

Is parking a problem for the van in Dagenham Green?

London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.

Can the van park in Parsloes Park?

Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.

Can you do something for the children?

Most children go for sausage and chips. Tell us how many children to expect.

Who clears up?

We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.

Can the van park on the street?

Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.

Is there something for children?

Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.

Do we need to provide equipment?

Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.

Choosing a fish and chip van

What happens on the day

From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can get on with your party. Sunset in Dagenham Green drops to about 7:05pm by late September and 3:50pm by December, so a lit spot for the van helps.

  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 arrive, park up and heat the fryers.
  4. We fry fresh and serve from the hatch as your guests come up.
  5. We pack up when we’re done and leave the pitch tidy.

How to prepare

  • Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
  • Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

How we price a fish and chip van for your party

Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:

  • The date and time of year
  • Your choice of menu
  • Whether a minimum applies
  • How many people are eating

A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

Getting an accurate quote

When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:

  • The spot you have in mind for the van
  • Rough numbers for adults and children
  • Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
  • A picture of the parking spot

Still finalising the details? That is fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will quote on that. To start, send us your details through our quote form.

Looking after everyone

We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:

  • Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
  • Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
  • A photo of the parking spot helps
  • Give us separate numbers for children

It’s worth telling the neighbours, or invite them.

A fish and chip van or other catering?

Compared with cooking a barbecue yourself, a chip van means nobody is stuck at the grill. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.

Why book our van in Dagenham Green

  • A van that becomes part of the event
  • Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
  • Nothing for you to cook or clear
  • No surprises in your quote

See our prices page or the cost guide.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.

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 closer look at the menu

Gravy

Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.

Sausage and chips

A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.

Where the van can park in Dagenham Green

The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:

  • A lit spot if service runs after dark
  • A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
  • A clear area by the serving hatch

Dagenham Green 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.
