Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A hog roast is pork only, while a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Why us?
- A menu almost everyone likes
- We cover Rush Green and the whole of Greater London
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- A van that becomes part of the event
Party fish and chip van in Rush Green, cooked to order

Throwing a party in Rush Green? A van means no cooking for you, at home, at a hall or at a club. Tell us about parking permits. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

What a fish and chip van costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- The day of the week
- The menu and how many choices
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The minimum booking
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your party.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the event is
- Where the van would park
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.
Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Let your neighbours know
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Make sure the van can park legally
- A photo of the parking spot helps
With children, food about an hour in works well.
A sign by the hatch with the menu speeds things up.
Planners, venues and businesses
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.

Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and children love it.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Where the van can park in Rush Green
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
As a London location, Rush Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Rush Green questions
Can you serve after a service at St Augustine of Canterbury Church?
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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Which station is closest to Rush Green?
The closest is Romford station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
How early do summer dates go?
As early as you can for summer weekends. Ask about your date.
Do you need power or water from us?
Mostly just a good parking spot. Mention power and water and we will confirm the rest.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
