A chip van near Westborough
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it is pork only. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Why book with us
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- A menu almost everyone likes
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- A clear quote before booking

Westborough questions
How far is Westborough from London?
Roughly 28 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van park in Broadstreet?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first.
What time is best for food?
At the time you choose. Plan lighting, as it’s dark early.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
How the day works
Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Sunset in Westborough in late December is about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.

Planning help
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Diets, allergies and planning
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- Put allergy details in writing
- Book as early as possible for December
We arrive in good time and set up in a lit spot before the party starts.
Christmas music near the van sets the mood.
What the van needs
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Confirmation that the van can park there
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
Popular choices
