A chip van compared with other options
Compared with a hog roast, a fish and chip van gives people a choice of fish, sausage or pie, which helps if some guests do not eat pork. Larger groups generally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

FAQs for Willey Green
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mark: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Could you trade in Broadstreet?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first.
Can we choose cod or haddock?
We serve cod and haddock; tell us which you’d like for your event.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is normally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Before you choose a spot

- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

How it works
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. By late September, sunset in Willey Green is around 7:05pm, and in December it is nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.
