How it works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. In Westbourne Green, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:20pm, but by late September the light goes at about 7:05pm, so evening trading may need lights.

- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

Do you trade at school fairs around Westbourne Green?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Is parking a problem for the van in Westbourne Green?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.

Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Plan bins near food stalls
- Share last year’s numbers if you have them
- Agree when volunteers will eat
- Tell us about the pitch
Put bins near the queue.
A clear route for the van before the gates open avoids problems.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Cold food stalls are fine on a hot day, but hot food is a draw when it is cool. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your event.
Why us?
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- We cover Westbourne Green and the whole of Greater London
See our prices page and the cost guide.
Planners, venues and businesses
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Numbers
- The date and time of year
- Whether a minimum applies
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and you’ll get a clear price. To get started, use our quote form.
What the van needs
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
Westbourne Green is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
