About the food
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it’s on the menu.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order.
How our fish and chip van for events works in Eastcote
School fairs and sports days work well with a chip van, once the school agrees where the van goes. Typical bookings include food for volunteers and church fêtes and fish and chip suppers, serving cod and chips, chips and mushy peas.
In Eastcote, street events mean planning closures and access. Tell us the pitch details and timings. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Planners, venues and businesses
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Plan bins near food stalls
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
Agree a wet-weather pitch on hard standing.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.

Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A queue area clear of rides and games
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
- Confirmation the van can trade there
Eastcote is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

How it works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Winter fairs in Eastcote are dark by about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there’s light until about 8:55pm.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
