What comes out of the fryer

A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.

Your questions about a fish and chip van in E22
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
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 service around it.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Cod or haddock?
Both are on our menu; tell us which you’d like for your event.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
