Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Roxbourne
Can the van park in Eastcote House Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to Roxbourne?
South Ruislip station, about 1.4 miles south-west of the centre.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Roxbourne.
Do you come to Roxbourne?
We do. We serve events in Roxbourne and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for visitors are worth planning.
Can the van come to our fair?
Yes, where the date suits. Get in touch with the details.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

For a reliable crowd-pleaser, a chip van is hard to beat. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your event.

The process
You don’t need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your event. The frying and serving are down to us. Summer events in Roxbourne have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- 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.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Let us know the serving time
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
