For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
Fish and chip van hire for your event in Wherwell Wood
The van needs no kitchen, no hall and no crockery. All it needs is a level spot it can reach, which most drives, car parks and yards can offer. On the menu are pie and chips, gravy and curry sauce, and we’re often booked for work Christmas parties and evening wedding food.
Somewhere as small as Wherwell Wood, a field, yard or drive is often the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, dry ground is the key. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.
Perfect for your event in Wherwell Wood
On a grey day, hot fish and chips wins, and the van keeps frying whatever the weather.
We are booked for all kinds of occasions in Wherwell Wood and nearby. Some of the most common are:

Wherwell Wood questions
Is Wherwell Wood close to London?
About 63 miles from central London, and well within our area.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Peter: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options.
What about guests who don’t eat 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.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Does a chip van work for big events?
That depends on how many and how quickly. Staggering groups and keeping the menu short both help.

We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.

Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.
How it works
You don’t need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your event. We handle the cooking and serving. Late September evenings in Wherwell Wood lose the light at about 7:10pm, and in December it’s nearer 4:00pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Get permission for the van from the venue
