Book the van in Wildmoor
Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Fish and chip van for events for your event in Wildmoor
A chip van suits school fairs and sports days, once the school agrees where the van goes. We’re often asked to cater church fêtes and fish and chip suppers and sports tournaments, with sausage and chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce.
For a village fête or field event near Wildmoor, we can bring hot food to a field. Tell us about the ground and the way in. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.
What affects the price in Wildmoor
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The number of meals
- The menu and how many choices
- The day of the week
- How easy the site is to reach
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- A picture of where the van would go
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Anything awkward about the way in
Each quote is put together for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll check availability right away.

Step by step
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Summer events in Wildmoor have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Access that avoids crowds
- A queue area clear of rides and games
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van

Wildmoor: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Wildmoor?
The closest is Bramley (Hants) station, roughly 2.8 miles away.
Is Wildmoor too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What do you need on the pitch?
Send us the pitch details, and we will confirm.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you trade at schools?
Yes. We will need a safe route onto the site away from children.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
