A chip van near Woolwich
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

For a staff lunch in Woolwich, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.

Working with your venue
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Woolwich questions
Could you trade in Woolwich Common?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Is parking a problem for the van in Woolwich?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Staff will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Do you have documents for our site?
Every site asks for something different, so ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Send round an allergy question
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Confirm allergies by email
- Consider a pre-order list
A quick message to staff when the van opens helps.
Tell the team in advance: it’s half the fun.
