The menu, dish by dish
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.
Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Count children separately
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Check the street’s parking rules
After service, we pack up and leave the drive tidy.
Somewhere to sit makes eating easier.

- Neighbourhood get-togethers
- Children’s parties
- Summer garden parties
- Anniversaries and engagement parties
Nearby historic houses include Valentines Mansion (less than half a mile south-west) and Eastbury Manor House (3.2 miles south). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on vehicles and caterers, so for most parties a home or hired hall is simpler.

Gants Hill questions
Which station is closest to Gants Hill?
Ilford station, about 1.2 miles south of the centre.
Can you serve after a service at St George's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Can the van come to Gants Hill?
We do. We serve events in Gants Hill and across Greater London. Send us your date to check availability.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Greater London. Find your area.
Planning a party in Gants Hill
Gants Hill is about 3 miles north-east of Forest Gate, in Greater London. Across the IG2 area, we can fry fresh for your guests. Gants Hill is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover. Our bookings stretch from Gants Hill to London (about 9 miles away).
If you had Valentines Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: vans can’t simply park up and serve in a public park. Local halls and clubs near Gants Hill are an option if there’s nowhere to park at home.
Wherever your party is in IG2, IG6 and IG1, we can bring the van to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Whether your party is on Bute Road, Perth Road and Shere Road or anywhere nearby, we’ll bring the van to you. You’ll find Gants Hill on the A123, which makes the journey straightforward. If your venue is just outside Gants Hill, we also cover Newbury Park (1 mile east), Barkingside (1 mile north-east), Redbridge (1 mile west), Cranbrook (1 mile south-west) and Ilford (1 mile south).

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
How the day works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. Sunset in Gants Hill is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. After dark, light the area around the van.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
