Questions from West Bedfont
Which station is closest to West Bedfont?
The closest is Heathrow Terminal 4 Rail station, roughly 1 mile away.
How far is West Bedfont from London?
About 16 miles from central London.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
What does the van need?
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 picture.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Tell us the shift and break times and we’ll plan service around them.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
For a staff treat people will remember, a chip van is hard to beat. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your staff event.

A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.

What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A spot near your staff
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
