Fish and chip van hire in Westfield, cooked to order
You can keep it simple or plan it carefully: a van that serves as people arrive, or service at a set time. We’ll recommend what fits. Typical bookings include visits to care homes and day centres and village fêtes and school fairs, with mushy peas, gravy and curry sauce.
In a hamlet or village like Westfield, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before booking.

How the day works
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. Around midsummer it stays light in Westfield until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.

Westfield questions
Is Westfield too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you serve near the sea around Westfield?
Yes, of course. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Can we choose cod or haddock?
Let us know which you’d prefer and we will confirm the menu.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
