Wildmoor: your questions answered
Is Wildmoor too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What’s the nearest station to Wildmoor?
The closest is Bramley (Hants) station, roughly 2.8 miles away.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for residents.
Do you do regular visits?
Yes, ask us about regular dates.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Are visitors included?
Yes. Just include them in your numbers.

How we price a fish and chip van visit
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The length of service
- The menu and how many choices
- How easy the site is to reach
- Whether a minimum applies
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Your date and serving time
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The venue or postcode
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
- Choose a time around meals and medication
- Share residents’ diets and allergies with us
- Agree the plan with your kitchen and care team
We set up before the mealtime.
Make it a regular event.
Organising for someone else?
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Venues frequently 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 will confirm what we can provide.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is 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.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
What the van needs
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- With the serving side away from windows
- A lit spot for evening service
- Clear of ambulance access and emergency routes
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
