Fish and chip van hire in E18: local guide
There are 3 towns and 0 villages and hamlets in E18, so whether your event is in Woodford, Wanstead and South Woodford or a quiet village, the approach is the same: firm ground, access and agreed timings.
South Woodford: For a fundraiser at a school like Oakdale Infants' School, the van can trade from a pitch agreed with the school. For guests coming by train, the closest railway station is Wood Street station, roughly 1.3 miles west of the centre. Evening events need a little planning for light: in South Woodford, 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.

If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another. What matters most:

FAQs for E18
Is fish and chips enough as a meal?
Fish and chips is a meal in itself. Many hosts add their own desserts or cake.
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’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
