Fish and chip van for events in Westcott, cooked to order
Country shows and field events suit a van, if the ground is firm enough for vehicles. Whether it is feeding event crew and community festivals, we can cook haddock and chips, chips and cod and chips and more.
At a field event near Westcott, power and water may be limited; let us know and we’ll plan for it. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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 solves that by cooking on site.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
- What’s available on the pitch
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that does not block walkways
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

The process
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Visitors typically gather round the hatch once service starts. Summer events in Westcott have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- 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.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Clear the route for the van
- Give us a contact for the day

How we price a fish and chip van for your event
These are the factors that matter most:
- How many people are eating
- How easy the site is to reach
- Cod, haddock or both
- Whether a minimum applies
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of where the van would go
- Where the van would park
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
About the food
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it’s on the menu.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
A chip van compared with other options
At larger events, a van adds to the mix and spreads the queues. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Westcott
How far is Westcott from London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you come to a school fair in Westcott?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac visitors and we will explain the options before booking.
