Can the van park in Wattle Wood?

About our Christmas party fish and chips in Woolpack Corner
It’s a crowd-pleaser, which makes it ideal for a big, mixed group. We are often asked to cater christmas socials for clubs and warehouse and depot Christmas lunches, serving mushy peas, cod and chips and curry sauce.
For a Christmas party near Woolpack Corner, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Woolpack Corner?

- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- Served hot, straight from the hatch

- Room in front of the hatch for a queue

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Any minimum charge
- How easy the site is to reach
- The number of meals

Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Hosting at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.

Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it’s on the menu.
Mushy peas
