About our fish and chip van for events in Whitton
A hot-food van gives families a reason to stay longer, which is good for every other stall. Typical bookings include feeding event crew and school summer fairs, serving curry sauce, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
In Whitton, street events mean planning closures and access. Send us the pitch and timings. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Display allergens for each stall
- Agree when volunteers will eat
- Agree the terms in writing
- Plan something for visitors we cannot cater for
Agree a wet-weather pitch on hard standing.
Pre-selling meal tickets helps us plan.
Event catering near Whitton
Whitton is about 1 mile west of Twickenham, in Greater London. We cover Whitton as standard, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. Whitton is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover. Our bookings stretch from Whitton to London (12 miles away).
If your event is in Crane Park, the organiser will need the landowner’s permission for vehicles and traders. A school like Royal Military School of Music can book the van for a fair, fun run or sports day.
This part of Greater London takes in TW2, TW1 and TW7, and we can serve your event anywhere in it.

Planners, venues and businesses
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Access and parking
- The date and time of year
Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
What we need to know
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- The date and time of the event
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Allergies and diets you know about
The quickest way to a quote is to use our quote form. Give us the details of your event, and we will check the date and send a price.

How it works
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot when you’re ready to eat. Summer events in Whitton have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
Getting a price
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, use our quote form.

Do you bring everything you need?

Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.

Space, access and the venue
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A queue area clear of rides and games
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
Whitton is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
On the menu in Whitton
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Curry sauce
- Chips
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
