About the food
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
About our fish and chip van for events in Westcroft
Send us the event details and the pitch information, and we will tell you quickly whether we can come. We are often asked to cater village fêtes and summer fairs and club open days, serving haddock and chips, curry sauce and cod and chips.
In Westcroft, one popular trader keeps it simple. A chip van does that. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

The process
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. In Westcroft, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:25pm, but by late September the light goes at about 7:05pm.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your visitors.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Make sure the van can get in
- Give us a contact for the day

Planning help
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

What’s the nearest station to Westcroft?

About 46 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What are the terms for events?
Tell us how your event typically works with traders, and we will find something that works.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Do you do school fairs and sports days?
Yes, once the school agrees where the van goes. Tell us the date and where the van would park.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Westcroft?
One good hot-food van can be enough at a smaller event, with cakes and teas alongside. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your event.
