How our fish and chip van for events works in Yiewsley
Few things draw a crowd at a fête or festival like the smell of fish and chips. A chip van gives organisers a hot-food trader that almost everyone wants. We’re frequently asked to cater agricultural and country shows and feeding event crew, with mushy peas, cod and chips and chips.
London street parties and fairs in Yiewsley need careful planning around road closures and access. Tell us the pitch details and timings. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Set a time for helpers’ food
- Share any nut or allergy policies
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Have other stalls for special diets
If we are feeding volunteers, agree a time that suits the schedule.
A clear route for the van before the gates open avoids problems.

Before you choose a spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A clear route onto the pitch
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
- Somewhere firm if it rains
As a London location, Yiewsley is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Yiewsley: your questions answered
Could you trade in Lake Farm Country Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Yiewsley?
West Drayton station, about 0.5 miles south-west of the centre.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Do you do school fairs and sports days?
Yes, once the school agrees where the van goes. Send us the date and the spot.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Visitors will appreciate cover near the hatch.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can you feed our volunteers and crew?
We can. Tell us how many and when, and we’ll quote.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Occasions we serve in Yiewsley
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers.
These are some of the bookings we take:
- Agricultural and country shows
- Community festivals
- Fish and chip supper nights
- Food for volunteers
Events in parks such as Lake Farm Country Park need permission from the council or landowner, and the van needs a firm route onto the pitch.
