Other occasions in Wyck
Step by step
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. Summer fêtes in Wyck have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:20pm at midsummer, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:05pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

About the food
Mushy peas

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Next to a volunteer barbecue, a chip van frees your helpers. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.

Read how we price and the cost guide.
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 solves that by cooking on site.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- What’s available on the pitch
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
On the menu in Wyck

Wyck questions
Do you come out to small places like Wyck?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Wyck close to London?
About 43 miles from central London.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Hampshire. Find your area.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
