Book the van in Woodlands
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Woodlands
It works for customer events and open days as well: people gather at the van and linger. We serve haddock and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and we’re often booked for open days and end-of-project celebrations.
Near Woodlands, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
A chip van compared with other options
For a thank-you that lands, a fish and chip van is a great choice. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll be honest if a spot will not work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Ask us when you enquire and we will explain how booking and payment work.

That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.

What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
The process
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, timed around your staff event. Summer events after work in Woodlands 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.
- First, tell us about your staff event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your staff.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day

- Tell us when you want to eat
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
