Fish and chip van for events in Shepherd's Bush
Fish and chip van for events in Shepherd's Bush, cooked to order
A chip van suits school fairs and sports days, once the school agrees where the van goes. Whether it is summer fairs and country shows, we will put together a menu of chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips and more.
Events in Shepherd's Bush range from street parties and school fairs to markets and festivals. Public spaces typically need council permission, and we need a pitch the van can reach. We cook inside the van, right where your visitors are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Fairs, fêtes and events in Shepherd's Bush
Shepherd's Bush is about 1 mile west of Kensington, in Greater London. Shepherd's Bush is well within our area, so your event just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. Shepherd's Bush is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover.
For visitors coming by rail, Shepherd's Bush has its own station, Shepherds Bush station. If your event is in Hammersmith Park, the organiser will need the landowner’s permission for vehicles and traders.
We serve events across the W12, W11 and W14 postcode area and the streets around it. We can serve an event on streets such as Bard Road, Stowe Road and Wells Road or the roads around them, wherever the van can park. Main roads around Shepherd's Bush include the A402, so getting the van to your event is simple. We also bring the van to events in White City (1 mile north), Holland Park (1 mile east), Notting Hill (1 mile north-east), Kensington (1 mile east) and Notting Dale (1 mile north-east). Further out, we also take the van to London (5 miles east), City of Westminster (3 miles east), Marylebone (3 miles east), St Pancras (5 miles east), Shoreditch (6 miles east) and Walthamstow (10 miles north-east).
Nearby you’ll also find Ladbroke Estate (0.8 miles north-east) and West London Hospital (0.8 miles south). The countryside around Shepherd's Bush includes WWT London Wetland Centre and The Long Water.

Working with your venue
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
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.
Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The day of the week
- Numbers
- The length of service
- How easy the site is to reach
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where the event is
- Dietary needs, with numbers
Not sure of numbers yet? That’s fine: tell us the basics about your event, and we’ll quote on that. Start when you are ready: send us your details through our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
Where the van can park in Shepherd's Bush
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A clear route onto the pitch
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- Information about power and water
Shepherd's Bush is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Popular choices
- Curry sauce
- Sausage and chips
- Chips
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
Step by step
Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace. Winter fairs in Shepherd's Bush are dark by about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; in late May there’s light until about 8:55pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

Shepherd's Bush: your questions answered
Do you trade at school fairs around Shepherd's Bush?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Could you trade in Hammersmith Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.
How do you charge at fêtes?
We will talk it through when you send the details, and we will agree terms.
Do you cover Shepherd's Bush?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Shepherd's Bush is within our area. To check your date, use our quote form.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Cakes and sandwiches are popular, but hot food is a draw when it is cool. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
