Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Allergies and diets you know about
- A picture of where the van would go
Each quote is put together for your party. Start with your date, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
Occasions we serve in Plashet
Hot food beats a buffet that’s been out for hours.
Whatever brings people together, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We regularly serve:
- Anniversary celebrations
- Big birthdays
- Get-togethers with old friends
- Kids’ birthday parties
Parks such as West Ham Park typically need permission from the council or landowner for a catering van, so check first.
What to look for in a quote
- The deadline for final numbers
- How many hours the van serves
- Whether there is a minimum
- What happens if plans change
Before you choose a spot
If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you. The main points are:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
Plashet is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Working with your venue
If you’re 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 saves passing messages back and forth.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
Towns and villages near Plashet
What else we do in Plashet
Plashet: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Barnabas: 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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Plashet?
Woodgrange Park station, about 0.5 miles north of the centre.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Can the van come to our street party?
Often, yes. Check your council’s rules on road closures and vehicles early.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
The process
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot when you are ready to eat. Sunset in Plashet drops to about 7:05pm by late September and 3:50pm by December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- We start with a few details about your party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Get permission for the van from the venue
How to get a price
Send us the date, the address or E6 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and we’ll reply with a quote. To get started, fill in our quote form.
