Haddock and chips

Why choose a fish and chip van in Woldingham Garden Village?
With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, everyone gets a break. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.

The process
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. In Woldingham Garden Village, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Make sure the van can get in

Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Space, access and the venue
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
On the menu in Woldingham Garden Village
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Staff lunches

Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
