What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Lighting nearby for evening events
As a London location, Rise Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Rise Park
Which station is closest to Rise Park?
Gidea Park station, about 1.4 miles south-east of the centre.
Could you trade in Raphael Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first.
Do you do street parties?
Yes, with the council’s permission for the road closure. Mention the van in your application.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
What do you need at the house?
Tell us what’s available at the address when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Working with your venue
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Step by step
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. In Rise Park, a June party has light until about 9:20pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you are eating late.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get an access check and a clear price.
- We arrive, park on the drive or agreed spot and set up.
- We serve hot from the hatch while the party carries on.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the drive tidy.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Let us know the serving time
