Fish and chip van for events for your event in Westbere
Give us the date, pitch and expected numbers, and we will let you know if we are available. For community festivals and church fêtes and fish and chip suppers, we can cook mushy peas, curry sauce and sausage and chips and more.
Rural events near Westbere can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so fish and chips goes down well. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
About the food
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it is a favourite with children.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.

Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot when you are ready to eat. For an evening event in Westbere, sunset is about 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- You send us the event details and pitch information.
- You get our pitch needs and a quick answer on availability.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- We trade from the hatch all event, frying to order.
- At the end, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
