Chip van hire across IG3
There are 3 towns and 1 villages and hamlets in IG3, so whether your event is in Ilford, Loxford and Newbury Park or a quiet village, the approach is the same: a level spot, a clear way in and a plan.
Seven Kings: School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Downshall Primary School, can book the van as a food stall. If guests are travelling by rail, Seven Kings has its own station, Seven Kings station. Around midsummer it stays light in Seven Kings until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
A chip van compared with other options
Barbecues cook in batches, and someone has to stand over the grill. With a van, nobody misses the event.
Questions to ask before booking
- How many hours the van serves
- How much space the van takes up

IG3 questions
Is a chip van good for a large crowd?
It depends on numbers and timings. A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Is fish and chips enough as a meal?
It can be. Fish and chips with mushy peas is a full meal, and you can add your own cake or desserts.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event

- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
