How our fish and chip van for events works in West Bedfont

DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Compared with a barbecue run by volunteers, a van means volunteers can enjoy the day. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

Questions from West Bedfont
Can you come to a school fair in West Bedfont?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
What’s the nearest station to West Bedfont?
Heathrow Terminal 4 Rail station, about 1 mile north-east of the centre.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac visitors when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your visitors, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
How it works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Summer fêtes in West Bedfont have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:20pm at midsummer, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:05pm, so evening trading may need lights.

Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
- Share any nut or allergy policies
- Plan bins near food stalls
- Agree the terms in writing
Mark out the queue area away from walkways, especially near rides and games.
A few benches near the van help.
