Fish and chip van for events in Woolstone, fried fresh
We bring the van and everything we need to cook, so we need little help from busy volunteers. We are frequently asked to cater sports club events and race days and fish and chip supper nights, with mushy peas, chips and curry sauce.
Rural events near Woolstone 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 served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

About the food
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Hosting at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.

Other occasions in Woolstone
Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll be honest if a spot will not work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
- A clear route onto the pitch
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where the event is
- Roughly how many people, including children
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can send us your details through our quote form.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Cold food stalls are fine on a hot day, but hot food brings people in on cooler days. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.

How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Visitors will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. At midsummer, events in Woolstone stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
