Fish and chip van hire across E10

Fish and chip van hire means the chip shop comes to you. We park up, heat the fryers and cook to order, so every portion goes out hot and crisp. Typical bookings include festive get-togethers and company team days, serving pie and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.

The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service.

  1. Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
  2. We come back with availability and a clear price.
  3. We agree exactly where the van parks.
  4. On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
  5. We leave the spot as we found it.

Chip van hire across E10

E10 covers everything from Walthamstow, Leyton and Bakers Arms to 0 small villages and hamlets, and the van works in all of them. In towns, plan parking and access; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.

Leyton: For a christening or celebration after a service at a church such as Christian Hope Ministries International, the van can serve at a hall or home nearby. PTAs at schools such as Dawlish Primary School often look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. Evening events need a little planning for light: in Leyton, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:50pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.

For planners, venues and organisers

For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.

Is a fish and chip van right for you?

Next to a hog roast, a fish and chip van gives people a choice of fish, sausage or pie, which helps if some guests don’t eat pork.

  • How much space the van takes up

How we price a fish and chip van

Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:

  • The day of the week
  • Numbers
  • Whether a minimum applies
  • The menu and how many choices

The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.

Details that help

Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:

  • How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
  • Roughly how many people, including children
  • The date and when you’d like to eat
  • A picture of where the van would go

Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, use our quote form.

Looking after everyone

With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:

  • Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
  • Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
  • Fewer choices mean faster service
  • Arrange an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for

A short menu keeps service quick.

A gazebo by the van keeps the queue dry.

Common questions in E10

Is the food cooked at the event?

It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.

What happens when we hire the van?

We bring the van to your event, set up, heat the fryers and cook to order, serving from the hatch at the time you choose.

What food do you serve?

Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.

What about guests who don’t eat fish?

There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.

Can you serve children?

Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.

Do you have allergen information?

Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item.

Can you cook in the rain?

We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
