How our fish and chip van for events works in West Drayton
A van suits shows and field events, as long as there is a firm route onto the pitch. We serve chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips, and we’re often booked for school summer fairs and club open days.
Street parties and school fairs in West Drayton are a great fit for a chip van, once the permissions are in place. We cook inside the van, right where your visitors are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

How it works
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. Summer fêtes in West Drayton have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September the light goes at about 7:05pm, so evening trading may need lights.

- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
