Corporate fish and chip catering in Woodside, cooked to order
The van parks in the car park or yard, so staff don’t have to go anywhere. For leaving dos and team away days, we can cook cod and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips for your guests.
For offices in and around Woodside, the van typically parks in a car park, yard or loading bay, if the building allows it. Get facilities’ approval and plan access early. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer before booking.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Woodside?
A meal out takes everyone off site. The van brings lunch to the team. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your staff event.

What the van needs

- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates

Woodside: your questions answered
Can the van park in Ashburton Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is parking a problem for the van in Woodside?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Do you work around shifts?
Tell us the shift and break times and we’ll plan service around them.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Any minimum charge
- Numbers
- The date and time of year
- The menu and how many choices
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where you’d like the van to go
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Roughly how many people, including children

Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. In Woodside, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.

- You get a quote and answers to facilities’ questions.
- We agree where the van parks and when it arrives with you or facilities.
- We serve hot from the hatch through your break or shifts.
- We clear up and leave the site as we found it.
