Fish and chip van for events for West Lavington events
How it works
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. Summer events in West Lavington have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- You send us the event details and pitch information.
- We confirm availability, our pitch needs and anything the event asks for.
- We set up before the gates open.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch through the event.
- At the end, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Common questions in West Lavington
Do you trade at school fairs around West Lavington?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Is West Lavington close to London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Do you cover West Lavington?
Yes, we do. West Lavington is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Can you feed our volunteers and crew?
Yes, alongside public trading or on its own.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
