A chip van near Twickenham
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

Send us the event details and the pitch information, and we will let you know if we are available. Typical bookings include food for volunteers and community open days, serving haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.

If visitors are coming by train, Twickenham station, about 0.5 miles north-east, is the nearest station. An event in Marble Hill Park means agreeing traders and vehicle routes with the landowner, normally the council.
Here we cover the TW1, TW2, TW4 and TW3 postcode area. Local streets include Station Road, London Road and Talbot Road; an event on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. Twickenham is on the A305 and A310, so it is easy for us to reach with the van.

How the day works
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Visitors will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. At midsummer, events in Twickenham stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- You send us the event details and pitch information.
- We confirm the date, what we need on the pitch and any documents.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- We cook fresh and serve through the day.
- We pack down at the end and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Share the timings for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Questions from Twickenham
Can the van park in Marble Hill Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Twickenham?
The closest is Twickenham station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can the van come to Twickenham?
We do. We serve events in Twickenham and across Greater London. Send us your date to check availability.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your visitors, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
