About our fish and chip van for events in West Town
Give us the date, pitch and expected numbers, and we will let you know if we’re available. Popular choices include mushy peas, curry sauce and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for fish and chip supper nights and sports days.
Events near West Town are often volunteer-run, so a trader who brings everything is a bonus. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.

Step by step
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Winter fairs in West Town are dark by about 4:00pm, so pitches need lighting; in late May there’s light until about 8:55pm.
- Organisers send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- You get our pitch needs and a quick answer on availability.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on the pitch.
- We cook fresh and serve through the day.
- At the end, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Plan where the queue will stand
How to get a price
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
