Fish and chip van for events in Woodcote Green
How our fish and chip van for events works in Woodcote Green
When there’s hot food, people stay longer, which is good for every other stall. On the menu are mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and we’re frequently booked for sports club events and race days and fundraisers.
In Woodcote Green, street events mean planning closures and access. Tell us the pitch details and timings. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Running an event in Woodcote Green
Woodcote Green is about 1 mile west of Purley, in Greater London. We serve events at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Woodcote Green and the surrounding area. We cover 764 places in Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from Woodcote Green to London (about 11 miles away).
Events in parks such as Carshalton Park need permission from the council or landowner, and the van needs a firm route onto the pitch. For visitors coming by rail, Reedham (London) station is about 1.3 miles away.
Anywhere in CR8, SM6 and SM5, we can bring the van to you. Local streets include Farm Lane, Elton Road and Green Lane; an event on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. If your venue is just outside Woodcote Green, we also cover Little Woodcote (1 mile west), Woodcote (1 mile south-east), Peaks Hill (1 mile east), Roundshaw (1 mile north-east) and Russell Hill (1 mile north-east). Further out, we also take the van to London (11 miles north), City of Westminster (12 miles north), Marylebone (12 miles north), Kensington (11 miles north), St Pancras (13 miles north) and Shoreditch (13 miles north).

- Local schools include Laleham Lea School (0.8 miles north-east) and Woodcote Primary School (0.9 miles south-east)
How we price a fish and chip van for your event
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- How far we travel
- Any minimum charge
- Cod, haddock or both
- The date and time of year
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Expected numbers
- The date and time of the event
- A photo of the parking spot
- Allergies and diets you know about
The quickest way to a quote is to send us your details through our quote form. Tell us about your event in Woodcote Green, and we will come back with availability and a quote.
The process
You do not need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your event. We handle the cooking and serving. For an evening event in Woodcote Green, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
Ask for a quote
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.

More for events in Woodcote Green
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
- 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
