The process
The first sign we’ve arrived is usually the smell, about the time the first staff wander across. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. Summer events after work in Wherwell Wood have light until about 9:25pm; in late May it’s about 8:55pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.

- We check access and send a quote, with anything your site needs from us.
- Parking and arrival are agreed with your facilities team.
- We cook to order for each group as they come out.
- We clear up and leave the site as we found it.

FAQs for Wherwell Wood
What’s the nearest station to Wherwell Wood?
The closest is Andover station, roughly 2.9 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Wherwell Wood?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Is grass a problem?
Generally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What can staff choose from?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Do you come to Wherwell Wood?
We do. We serve events in Wherwell Wood and across Hampshire. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Ordering takeaway for a whole site is slow and the food arrives cold. The van cooks on site. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
Why book our van in Wherwell Wood
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones

Take a look at our prices page and our guide to van hire costs.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Send round an allergy question
- Put allergy details in writing
- Have a back-up for special diets
When service is finished, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.
- 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
