About our fish and chip van for events in Brentford
The van is self-sufficient on the pitch, so we need little help from busy volunteers. For church fêtes and fish and chip suppers and village fêtes and summer fairs, we can cook haddock and chips, curry sauce and chips for your guests.
Events in Brentford range from street parties and school fairs to markets and festivals. Public spaces typically need council permission, and we need a pitch the van can reach. Everything is fried fresh at your event, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Step by step
We work to your timings. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. Winter fairs in Brentford are dark by about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; spring events have light until about 8:55pm by late May.
- It starts with your event and pitch details.
- We confirm the date, what we need on the pitch and any documents.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- We cook fresh and serve through the day.
- At the end, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.

Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:

The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
