How we price a fish and chip van for your party
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How easy the site is to reach
- The date and time of year
- Cod, haddock or both

Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
How the day works
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your party. For a late-May party in Westfield, sunset is around 8:45pm; at midsummer it is about 9:15pm. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- It starts with your date, address and numbers.
- We check where the van can park and send a price.
- We arrive, park on the drive or agreed spot and set up.
- Guests come up to the hatch and we fry to order.
- We pack up when we’re done and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Let us know the serving time
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Westfield questions
How far is Westfield from London?

Is Westfield too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
How far ahead should we book a party?
Weekends from May to September are busiest, so it pays to ask early.

How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
