Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Details of any power or water on site
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
- Access that avoids crowds
As a London location, Southall is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

How our fish and chip van for events works in Southall
Organisers can book us as a trader, or to feed crew and volunteers. For church fêtes and fish and chip suppers and sports days, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, curry sauce and chips and more.
Street parties and school fairs in Southall are a great fit for a chip van. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Share any nut or allergy policies
- Give us an idea of numbers
- Agree how we will be paid: pitch fee, share of takings or minimum
- Set a time for helpers’ food
Mark out the queue area away from walkways.
A clear route for the van before the gates open avoids problems.
Southall questions
What’s the nearest station to Southall?
Southall station, in Southall itself.
What about parking in Southall?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. Find your area.
Do you do crew food?
Yes. Give us numbers and a time.
How do you charge at fêtes?
It depends on the event: a pitch fee, a share of takings or a guaranteed minimum. We will agree it in writing.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

About the food
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Step by step
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your visitors, which we agree with you beforehand. At midsummer, events in Southall stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
