Fish and chip van for events for your event in Woolage Village
A van suits shows and field events, as long as there’s a firm route onto the pitch. On the menu are curry sauce, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and we are regularly asked to cater charity fundraisers and community events and horse and dog shows.
Rural events near Woolage Village can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a chip van is a welcome sight. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.
How it works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Evening events in Woolage Village have light until about 9:15pm at midsummer; after dark, we need a lit pitch.

Should I sort the food myself?
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.
