DIY versus a fish and chip 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.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Agree how we will be paid: pitch fee, share of takings or minimum
- Plan something for visitors we cannot cater for
- Share any nut or allergy policies
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
Put bins near the queue.
Let visitors know there is a chip van.
Where the van can park in Woburn
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
- A queue area clear of rides and games
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Popular choices
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Chips
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Curry sauce
The process
There’s very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your event. The frying and serving are down to us. For an evening event in Woburn, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Share the timings for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Have a level parking spot ready

A fish and chip van or other catering?
At a small fête, one good trader may be all you need, with cakes and teas alongside. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
