Planning help
Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Lighting nearby for evening events
South Chingford is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.

Hosting a chip van party in South Chingford

Other occasions in South Chingford
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- How long we serve
- Cod, haddock or both
- The day of the week
- Whether a minimum applies
Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Where the van would park
- A picture of where the van would go
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Rough numbers for adults and children
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.
South Chingford: your questions answered
Could you trade in Lloyd Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first.
We are gathering after a service at St Edmund's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you come to a street party?
Yes, with the council’s permission for the road closure. Mention the van in your application.
Is there a kids’ option?
Sausage and chips, typically. Tell us how many children to expect.
When should we book for a summer party?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so ask early.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Do we need to provide anything?
Mostly just a good parking spot. Tell us what’s available and we will take it from there.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Mention the van to neighbours
- Arrange an alternative if needed
- Send allergies to us in writing
Let the neighbours know the van is coming.
