Fish and chip van hire across RM10
A fish and chip van works almost anywhere the van can park: a driveway, a car park, a yard or a firm field. We are frequently asked to cater christmas parties and garden parties and summer get-togethers, serving curry sauce, cod and chips and mushy peas.
There’s very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your event. The frying and serving are down to us.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we park on the agreed spot and set up.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, we clear up and head off.
Cost
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
Why hosts in RM10 choose us
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather

Fish and chip van hire in RM10: local guide
There are 3 towns and 2 villages and hamlets in RM10, so the setting can be anything from Dagenham, Becontree and South Hornchurch to a quiet hamlet: a level spot, a clear way in and a plan.
Dagenham: Parks such as Beam Valley Country Park generally need permission from the council or landowner for a catering van, so check first. If you are organising a summer fair for a school like Village Infants' School, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. Evening events need a little planning for light: around Dagenham, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
- Put bins and napkins by the van
Bins and napkins near the hatch make life easier.
A chalkboard by the hatch with the menu keeps the queue moving.
Occasions we serve in RM10
On a grey day, hot fish and chips wins, and the van keeps frying whatever the weather.
We can help if you are planning any of the following:
- Fêtes, fairs and school events
- Milestone birthday parties
- Garden parties and summer get-togethers
- Wakes and celebrations of life
Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
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.
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
Hosting at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
RM10: your questions answered
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
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.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
- 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
