What else we do in Lea Bridge
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Ordering in for a crowd means long waits. The van cooks right there. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your party.
What you get with us
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- A clear quote before you book
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Something for guests to gather round
Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
The process
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and get on with frying and serving. A summer party in Lea Bridge stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Common questions in Lea Bridge
Can the van park in Millfields Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Lea Bridge?
The closest is Clapton station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Is grass a problem?
Generally, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
What do children eat?
Sausage and chips, generally. Tell us how many children to expect.

Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
Working with your venue
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Organising a club, school or community event in Lea Bridge? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Let your neighbours know
Have bins and napkins by the van.
Somewhere to sit makes eating easier.
Before you choose a spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A spot near your guests
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
Lea Bridge is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.
