How our fish and chip van for events works in Westcot
Organisers can book us as a trader, or to feed crew and volunteers. We are often asked to cater community festivals and school summer fairs, with sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
Near Westcot, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a chip van is a welcome sight. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do.

Should I sort the food myself?
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.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

What do you need on the pitch?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, and room for a queue. Mention any power or water.

The process
You don’t need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your event. We handle the cooking and serving. Summer fêtes in Westcot have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:25pm at midsummer, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:10pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that does not block walkways
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
