Event catering near West Brompton

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How far we travel
- How easy the site is to reach
- Cod, haddock or both
- The day of the week
Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A photo of the space and the way in
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.
Step by step
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. At midsummer, events in West Brompton 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.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Make sure the van can get in

Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:

- Tell us expected visitor numbers
- Arrange bins and waste collection
We arrive before the gates open to set up on the pitch.
A sign at the entrance tells visitors hot food is available.
Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that does not block walkways
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
