How our fish and chip van for events works in Wooburn
Organisers can book us as a trader, or to feed crew and volunteers. We’re frequently asked to cater club open days and church fêtes, serving curry sauce, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
Near Wooburn, events may be far from shops and cafés, so fish and chips goes down well. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Wooburn: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Wooburn?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you come to a school fair in Wooburn?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Before you choose a spot
We will be honest if a spot won’t work. What matters most:
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
- Information about power and water
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
