Tell us what your site needs when you enquire, and we’ll go through it with you.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Do you do customer events and open days?
We do. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.
A chip van compared with other options
Office caterers bring cold buffets. A van serves hot food to order. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your staff event.
Why book our van in Woodcote
- A menu almost everyone likes
- Events in Woodcote and across Greater London
- All the chip-shop extras
- Quick service from the hatch
Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
As a London location, Woodcote is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Popular choices
- Mushy peas
- Staff lunches
- Sausage and chips

- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger staff and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
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.
For event organisers in Woodcote
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.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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 staff event.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Share the shift pattern
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
Put bins near the hatch.
Tell the team in advance: it’s half the fun.
How it works
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. Lunchtime staff treats in Woodcote are in daylight all year round, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December.
- Send us the date, site, headcount and break times.
- You get a quote and answers to facilities’ questions.
- We arrange the van’s spot and arrival with the site.
- We cook to order for each group as they come out.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
How to prepare
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
