A chip van near Woolton Hill
Takeaway run or book a 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.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
Fish and chip van for events in Woolton Hill, fried fresh
Country shows and field events suit a van, as long as there is a firm route onto the pitch. For fish and chip supper nights and sports tournaments, we can cook cod and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce.
Rural events near Woolton Hill can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so fish and chips goes down well. 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.

Woolton Hill questions
Is Woolton Hill too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you trade at school fairs around Woolton Hill?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you trade at schools?
We do. We will agree access before the children arrive.
Can you cater for helpers?
Yes. Tell us how many and when, and we will quote.
Organising for someone else?
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Having the party at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.

How it works
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Visitors will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. At midsummer, events in Woolton Hill stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- 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’re done.
