Questions from Woodford Wells
Can the van park in The Highams Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first.
What about parking in Woodford Wells?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Tell us the shift and break times and we will plan service around them.
Do you have documents for our site?
Tell us what your site needs when you enquire, and we will confirm what we can provide.
Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Woodford Wells
The van parks in the car park or yard, so nobody has to leave site. Typical bookings include retirement and leaving lunches and fish Friday treats, with haddock and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
In Woodford Wells, lunch breaks are frequently short, so we keep the menu short and service quick. Tell us about site access and parking. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

The process
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Staff usually gather round the hatch once service starts. A lunch-break van visit in Woodford Wells is always in daylight, but evening events need lights from about 3:50pm in December or 7:05pm in late September.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Why us?
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- No kitchen needed
