Fresh fish and chips in Leyton

Wedding fish and chip van in Leyton, fried fresh

We park close to the reception, and guests drift out to queue and chat. It turns evening food into part of the celebration. We serve mushy peas, curry sauce and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for barn weddings and marquee and garden weddings.

In Leyton, parking for suppliers is part of the plan. Ask your venue about a loading bay or yard, which is ideal for the van. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Prices and what affects them

There is nothing hidden: the quote reflects:

  • Service time
  • How many people are eating
  • Any minimum charge
  • Distance and any road charges

Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.

What to tell us

You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:

  • A picture of where the van would go
  • Expected numbers
  • Where you’d like the van to go
  • How to get in: gates, lanes and ground

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

For event organisers in Leyton

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.

Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.

Planning for dietary needs

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:

  • Plan bins by the hatch
  • Confirm the van can park at the venue
  • Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
  • Plan something for guests we cannot cater for

Sending tables up in turn keeps the queue short if you have plenty of guests.

Leyton questions

Could you trade in Leyton Jubilee Park?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.

What’s the nearest station to Leyton?

Leyton has its own station: Leyton Midland Road station.

What happens if it rains?

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.

When should we book?

As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.

Will guests take photos at the van?

Many couples love having it in the photos. If you’d rather not, we will park out of shot where possible.

How much is fish and chip van hire?

Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.

Do we need to provide anything?

Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.

Do you take everything away?

We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Bacon rolls and pizza are popular evening choices too. Fish and chips stands out because it’s a proper hot meal that guests remember. Larger groups normally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Why us?

  • Rain does not stop the fryers
  • No kitchen needed
  • Everything cooked to order at your event
  • The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy

Takeaway run or book a van?

If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
