About our party fish and chip van in Snaresbrook
There is no need for a venue: a chip van on the drive turns your home into the venue. We’re frequently asked to cater anniversaries and engagement parties and street parties, serving curry sauce, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
In Snaresbrook, a party at home is the usual choice, and parking is the question. If you have a drive, the van can frequently go there; if not, check the street’s parking rules. Send us a photo. Timings are planned around your party, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

Snaresbrook questions
Is parking a problem for the van in Snaresbrook?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
Could you trade in Lloyd Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
How early do summer dates go?
Summer weekends go first. Get in touch with your date.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options before you book.
Can you do something for the children?
Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include them in your numbers.
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
It’s worth telling the neighbours.

Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How easy the site is to reach
- Whether a minimum applies
- Service time
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Where the van would park
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll check availability right away.
What happens on the day
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. Autumn and winter parties in Snaresbrook get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:50pm in December, so think about lighting by the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Let us know the serving time
