Food your guests will love

Whiteley Village: your questions answered
Could you trade in West End Common?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Whiteley Village too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?
Whenever suits your party. Remember it is dark by about 4pm in December.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Is grass a problem?
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 you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Ensure the van and queue are well lit
- Collect allergies in advance
- Confirm allergies by email
Serving early, before the drinks flow, is frequently wise.
Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
