How our fish and chip van for events works in West Ealing
When there is hot food, people stay longer, which is good for every other stall. We’re frequently asked to cater sports days and community festivals, serving haddock and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce.
In West Ealing, street events mean planning closures and access. Tell us the pitch details and timings. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

The process
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. Winter fairs in West Ealing are dark by about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; spring events have light until about 8:55pm by late May.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
