About our fish and chip van for events in Woburn Sands
Country shows and field events suit a van, if the ground is firm enough for vehicles. We serve haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and we are often booked for sports tournaments and music and food festivals.
Events near Woburn Sands are often volunteer-run, so a self-sufficient van helps. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Common questions in Woburn Sands
Is Woburn Sands close to London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you come to a school fair in Woburn Sands?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac visitors and we will explain the options.

Step by step
We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Winter fairs in Woburn Sands are dark by about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; spring events have light until about 8:55pm by late May.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
Getting a price
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can send us your details through our quote form.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
