Fish and chip van for events for Cranford events
How our fish and chip van for events works in Cranford
School fairs and sports days work well with a chip van, with the school’s permission for the van on site. For music and food festivals and community open days, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, chips and haddock and chips for your guests.
In Cranford, street events mean planning closures and access. Send us the pitch and timings. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Step by step
You do not need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your event. The frying and serving are down to us. Winter fairs in Cranford are dark by about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there is light until about 8:55pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure the van can get in
- Share the timings for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

About the food
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Where the van can park in Cranford
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
- Details of any power or water on site
- Access that avoids crowds
Cranford is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.

Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
