Party fish and chip van in Greengate
Party fish and chip van in Greengate, fried fresh
There is no need for a venue: the van makes your home the party venue. Whether it’s anniversaries and engagement parties and naming days and christenings, we will put together a menu of pie and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas and more.
Most parties in Greengate are at home, and in London that generally means a drive or street parking. A drive is ideal; otherwise, check what’s allowed on the street. Send us a picture. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Questions from Greengate
What’s the nearest station to Greengate?
West Ham station, about 1 mile west of the centre.
We are gathering after a service at St Andrew's Church: can you come?
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.
Do you need power or water from us?
Tell us what’s available at the address when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. For a late-May party in Greengate, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:20pm. After dark, light the area around the van.
- First, tell us about your party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the serving time
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
What a fish and chip van costs
We’ll give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- The length of service
- How many people are eating
- Your choice of menu
- Parking and the way in
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
These details help us quote quickly:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where the event is
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A picture of where the van would go
Send us the date, the address or E13 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and you’ll get a clear price. To get started, fill in our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A short walk from the party
As a London location, Greengate is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Perfect for your party in Greengate
Hot food beats a buffet that is been out for hours.
