Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
How the day works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. Summer fêtes in Woodside have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September the light goes at about 7:05pm.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Share the timings for the day

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For a stall visitors will queue for, a chip van is hard to beat in Woodside. There is 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.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Where the van can park in Woodside
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Confirmation the van can trade there
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
- Details of any power or water on site
As a London location, Woodside is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
