About our fish and chip van for events in Gunnersbury
The van is self-sufficient on the pitch, which helps volunteer-run events. Typical bookings include feeding event crew and school fairs and sports days, with chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce.
In Gunnersbury, community events include street parties, school fairs and markets. Public spaces normally need council permission, and we need a pitch the van can reach. Everything is fried fresh at your event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips.
How we price a fish and chip van for your event
