Fish and chip van for events in West Green, cooked to order
We bring the van and everything we need to cook, which helps volunteer-run events. Whether it is agricultural and country shows and community festivals, we can cook cod and chips, chips and haddock and chips for your guests.
Rural events near West Green can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so fish and chips goes down well. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Summer events in West Green have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. 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.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Share the timings for the day

West Green questions
How far is West Green from London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to West Green?
The closest is Winchfield station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
Is grass a problem?
Often, 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.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Do you do crew food?
We can. Tell us how many and when, and we’ll quote.
Can the van come to our fair?
Yes, where the date suits. Send us the date, location and expected numbers.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac visitors in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can you come to a school event?
Yes. We will need a safe route onto the site away from children.
