Space, access and the venue
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
- Confirmation the van can trade there
As a London location, Hounslow West is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it’s a favourite with children.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Should I sort the food myself?
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. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.

How the day works
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. Summer events in Hounslow West have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- It starts with your event and pitch details.
- We confirm the date, what we need on the pitch and any documents.
- We set up before the gates open.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch through the event.
- At the end, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Hounslow West questions
What about parking in Hounslow West?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
Could you trade in Hounslow Heath?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac visitors and we’ll explain the options before you book.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Can you feed our volunteers and crew?
Yes, at a time that suits your schedule.

Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Share last year’s numbers if you have them
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
- Display allergens for each stall
- Agree when volunteers will eat
Crew food is served at the agreed time.
A sign at the entrance tells visitors hot food is available.
