DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a DIY barbecue, the host is not stuck cooking all afternoon. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Why Redbridge hosts choose us
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- A menu almost everyone likes
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side

A closer look at the menu
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Working with your venue
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.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A clear area by the serving hatch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How it works
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. Sunset in Redbridge is about 9:00pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
