If your residents have links with St Matthew's Church, a fête or open day together is a nice moment for a van visit. Residents who remember days out at Deadwater Valley may enjoy talking about it over fish and chips. Woolmer is within about 7 miles of the South Downs National Park, a nice prompt for residents’ memories of days out.

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
The process
We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. In summer, Woolmer has daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden visits easy. In winter, dark by about 4:00pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Tell us when you want to eat

Woolmer questions
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Is Woolmer too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac residents when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can staff have lunch from the van?
Yes. Just include them in your numbers.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
- Lighting for later visits
- Close to the garden or entrance
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
