A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger visitors and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
What the van needs
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
- Details of any power or water on site
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Cod, haddock or both
- How far we travel
- The number of meals
- How easy the site is to reach
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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 visitors instead.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
A chip van compared with other options
At larger events, a van adds to the mix and spreads the queues. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

FAQs for Witherenden Hill

Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first.

Stonegate station, about 0.9 miles north-east of the centre.
Can you cater for helpers?
We can. Give us numbers and a time.
What if the weather’s bad?

What happens on the day
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Visitors will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Summer fêtes in Witherenden Hill have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late September the light goes at about 7:00pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
