Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Summer events in Old Chiswick 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.

How we price a fish and chip van for your event
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Any minimum charge
- The number of meals
- Parking and the way in
- The length of service
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your event.
What we need to know
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Expected numbers
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and we’ll reply with a quote. To get started, use our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Share pitch details
- Plan bins near food stalls
- Plan something for visitors we can’t cater for
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
Agree a wet-weather pitch on hard standing in case the ground is soft.
Plan vehicle access before visitors arrive.
Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
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.
