The process
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. By about 3:50pm in late December, it’s dark in Wootton; choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- You tell us the date, the venue or site, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check access and lighting at the spot and send a price.
- We plan a lit, sheltered spot for the van and queue.
- On the day we set up and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

How far is Wootton from London?

Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.

Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Wootton.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Wootton?

Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Book as early as possible for December
- Collect allergies in advance
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Put allergy details in writing
Afterwards, we pack up.
Festive lights by the van look great.
What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How far we travel
- The number of meals
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Cod, haddock or both
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Expected numbers
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Where the event is
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and we will reply with a quote. Just send us your details through our quote form.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
What the van needs
If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A spot near your guests
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
