What else we do in Westbourne
Westbourne: your questions answered
How far is Westbourne from London?
Roughly 57 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Westbourne too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
How does payment work for businesses?
Ask us when you enquire and we will explain how booking and payment work.
Do you cover Westbourne?
Yes, we do. Westbourne is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
How it works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Staff usually gather round the hatch once service starts. For an end-of-day event in Westbourne, summer gives you light until about 9:20pm; in late May it is about 8:55pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- Send us the date, site, headcount and break times.
- We check the site and send a price and any details facilities need.
- We agree where the van parks and when it arrives with you or facilities.
- We cook to order for each group as they come out.
- We clear up and leave the site as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Ensure the van can get in

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Collect allergies in advance
- Consider a pre-order list
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Share the shift pattern
We arrive before your break to park and heat the fryers, so we are ready when the first group comes out.
Somewhere to sit outside helps.
- 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
