Corporate fish and chip catering in Wood Street Village, cooked to order
Open days and customer events work well too: visitors queue, chat and stay longer. Whether it is workplace fundraising days and customer days, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips.

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
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.

- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.

Wood Street Village: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Wood Street Village?
Wanborough station, about 1.7 miles west of the centre.
Is Wood Street Village too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you come to Wood Street Village?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Wood Street Village and across Surrey. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
A chip van compared with other options
Next to a sandwich lunch, a chip van feels like a proper treat. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
