How our fish and chip van for events works in Willesden
Few things draw a crowd at a fête or festival like the smell of fish and chips. Organisers get a trader almost everyone is happy to queue for. We are often asked to cater horse and dog shows and fish and chip supper nights, serving curry sauce, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
London street parties and fairs in Willesden need careful planning around road closures and access. Send us the pitch and timings. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu.

How long are you on site?

What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that does not block walkways
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
- Access that avoids crowds
Willesden is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:

- Arrange bins and waste collection
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
- Share pitch details
Mark out the queue area away from walkways.
Tables and seating nearby help families eat.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Cold food stalls are fine on a hot day, but hot food is a draw when it is cool. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- A quote that spells everything out
- Something for visitors to gather round
- Quick service from the hatch
See how we price and our guide to van hire costs.
The process
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. Summer fêtes in Willesden have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:20pm at midsummer, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:05pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying 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
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
Ask for a quote
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can use our quote form.
