Party fish and chip van for your party in Leytonstone

With a chip van, the host gets to enjoy the party too. The van parks, the fryers go on and the food goes out hot. For family parties with children and garden get-togethers, we can cook pie and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips for your guests.

Throwing a party in Leytonstone? A chip van keeps you out of the kitchen, at home, at a hall or at a club. Tell us about parking permits. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.

Events we cater in Leytonstone

Everyone from toddlers to grandparents enjoys it, which makes it perfect for family celebrations.

Here are some of the occasions we serve around Leytonstone:

  • Anniversary celebrations

A green space like Leyton Jubilee Park is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, normally the council’s.

Choosing a fish and chip van

Looking after everyone

Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:

  • Collect allergies with your RSVPs
  • Confirm allergies by email
  • Send us a picture of the drive
  • Arrange an alternative if needed

When everyone has eaten, we pack up.

Your own cake makes the perfect finish.

Planners, venues and businesses

If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.

If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.

Where the van can park in Leytonstone

No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you contact us. Generally, we look for:

  • Light near the van and the queue for evening service
  • A short walk from the party
  • Flat, firm ground for the van

Leytonstone 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’ll tell you honestly before you book.

FAQs for Leytonstone

Is parking a problem for the van in Leytonstone?

It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.

Can you serve after a service at Church of St John the Baptist?

Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.

Is the food cooked at the event?

Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.

What do children eat?

Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.

Is there something for children?

Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.

Where can the van park?

Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.

Will the van fit on our drive?

Often, yes, with a level drive and a clear way in. Send us a picture and tell us about gates and branches.

What happens if it rains?

The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

How the day works

We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. Autumn and winter parties in Leytonstone get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:50pm in December, so think about lighting by the van.

  1. Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
  2. A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
  3. A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
  4. The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
  5. Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

Preparing for the day

  • Get permission for the van from the venue
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Let us know the serving time

Takeaway run or book a van?

Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

A closer look at the menu

Mushy peas

Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.

Cod and chips

Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.
