Fish and chip van for events in Westley, cooked to order
Send us the event details and the pitch information, and we’ll let you know if we’re available. For school summer fairs and festivals, we will put together a menu of chips, curry sauce and mushy peas.
A fête near Westley might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
The process
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. Winter fairs in Westley are dark by about 4:00pm, so pitches need lighting; in late May there is light until about 8:55pm.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the serving time
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
How to get a price
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, use our quote form.

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Before you choose a spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A clear route onto the pitch
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
- Information about power and water
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Popular choices
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips

How we price a fish and chip van for your event
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Your choice of menu
- The day of the week
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How many people are eating
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.
What to tell us
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- The date and time of the event
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Expected numbers
- Where the event is
Send us the date, the address or SO21 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and we will reply with a quote. Just fill in our quote form.
