About our fish and chip van for events in Gillette Corner
The van is self-sufficient on the pitch, so we need little help from busy volunteers. Popular choices include haddock and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater horse and dog shows and fundraisers.
Events in Gillette Corner range from street parties and school fairs to markets and festivals. Public spaces normally need council permission, and we need a pitch the van can reach. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

Step by step
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. Summer events in Gillette Corner have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.

Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Set a time for helpers’ food
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
- Arrange bins and waste collection
- Ensure allergen information is available
Plan where the queue forms, especially near rides and games.
Plan vehicle access before visitors arrive.
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
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.

Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Information about power and water
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
Gillette Corner 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 picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
