Cod and chips

A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.

Woodford Wells questions
Is parking a problem for the van in Woodford Wells?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
Can the van park in The Highams Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your residents, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
How much does a fish and chip van visit cost in Woodford Wells?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
Do you come to Woodford Wells?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Woodford Wells and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Where the van can park in Woodford Wells
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Not blocking ambulance bays
- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
- Away from bedroom windows
As a London location, Woodford Wells is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
From the hatch
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
- Gravy
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
Should I sort the food myself?
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. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
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.
