Fish and chip van for events in Woodside
Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Share last year’s numbers if you have them
- Share pitch details
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
- Agree who removes waste
We arrive before the gates open to set up on the pitch, at the agreed time.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.
Fish and chip van for events for your event in Woodside
A hot-food van gives families a reason to stay longer, which is good for every other stall. Typical bookings include community festivals and fish and chip supper nights, serving chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce.
At a fête or show near Woodside, we can bring hot food to a field. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
How we price a fish and chip van for your event
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The number of meals
- Any minimum charge
- Access and parking
- Distance and any road charges
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- A picture of the parking spot
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- 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 Woodside, and we will check the date and send a price.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Woodside?
Cakes and sandwiches are popular, but hot food is a draw when it’s cool. Larger groups normally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why book our van in Woodside
- A van that becomes part of the event
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- A clear quote before you book
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies

How the day works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. Summer fêtes in Woodside have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September the light goes at about 7:10pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Getting ready for the day

About the food
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
