Fish and chip van hire in Westcott, fried fresh
You can keep it simple or plan it carefully: a van that serves as people arrive, or service at a set time. We’ll suggest what suits your event. On the menu are sausage and chips, curry sauce and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for village fêtes and school fairs and evening wedding food.
In a hamlet or village like Westcott, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Everything is fried fresh at your event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
The process
We do not cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Evening events need a little planning for light: around Westcott, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we park on the agreed spot and set up.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch at the agreed time.
- When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Questions from Westcott
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Westcott close to London?
About 44 miles from central London.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a hog roast, a fish and chip van gives people a choice of fish, sausage or pie, which helps if some guests don’t eat pork. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.
Why book with us
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Something for guests to gather round
- No kitchen needed
