Running an event in Isleworth
Isleworth is about 2 miles north of Twickenham, in Greater London. For events in Isleworth, the van can park on drives, in car parks and yards, and on firm lawns and fields. We serve 764 places across Greater London. Our bookings stretch from Isleworth to London (about 10 miles away).
An event in Old Deer Park means agreeing traders and vehicle routes with the landowner, usually the council. Church fêtes, at churches such as Church of All Saints, are a natural home for a chip van.
Events anywhere in TW7, TW1 and TW3 start with a parking spot for the van and roughly how many visitors. Your event could be at a house on Upper Square, London Road and Shire Horse Way, as long as there is somewhere for the van. If your venue is just outside Isleworth, we also cover Woodlands (1 mile west), St Margarets (1 mile south-east), Ivybridge (1 mile south-west), Spring Grove (1 mile north-west) and Hounslow (1 mile west). Further out, we also take the van to London (10 miles east), City of Westminster (8 miles east), Marylebone (9 miles north-east), Kensington (6 miles east), St Pancras (10 miles north-east) and Shoreditch (12 miles east).
Well-known places in the area include Treaty Centre (1.5 miles west) and West Middlesex University Hospital (less than half a mile north-east). Green spaces nearby include Richmond Hill and Kew Gardens Lake.
- Nearby schools include Gumley House RC Convent School (less than half a mile south-east) and Kneller Hall Junior School (1.3 miles east)
- Nearby, you’ll find The George Inn (less than half a mile south-east)
- Other local spots include Municipal Borough of Heston and Isleworth (0.8 miles west)
How our fish and chip van for events works in Isleworth
Organisers can book us as a trader, or to feed crew and volunteers. We serve mushy peas, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater crew and volunteer catering and school fairs and sports days.
Street parties and school fairs in Isleworth are a great fit for a chip van. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before booking.

A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
What happens on the day
We do not cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. At midsummer, events in Isleworth stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Clear the route for the van
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Isleworth questions
Do you trade at school fairs around Isleworth?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Can the van park in Old Deer Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
What do you need on the pitch?
Tell us the pitch size and ground, and we’ll check it works.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
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.
Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that does not block walkways
- Access that avoids crowds
As a London location, Isleworth is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Most events have a burger van. A chip van gives visitors something different. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
