Fresh fish and chips in Woodgreen
Step by step
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. In Woodgreen, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:25pm, but by late September the light goes at about 7:10pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- You send us the event details and pitch information.
- We confirm availability, our pitch needs and anything the event asks for.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on the pitch.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch through the event.
- We pack down at the end and leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Common questions in Woodgreen
Is Woodgreen too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you come to a school fair in Woodgreen?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can the van park on grass?
Normally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can the van come to Woodgreen?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Woodgreen is within our area. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
How do you charge at fêtes?
That varies: pitch fee, percentage or minimum. We will agree terms before the day.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it’s on the menu.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
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.
Space, access and the venue
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
- A queue area clear of rides and games
- Access that avoids crowds
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
