Questions from Wolverton Common
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Catherine: 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 generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you come out to small places like Wolverton Common?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before booking.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
How our fish and chip van hire works in Wolverton Common
Rain does not stop a fish and chip van, because the fryers are inside. It’s a dependable choice for events in any season. Typical bookings include village fêtes and school fairs and weddings, especially the evening, with curry sauce, pie and chips and haddock and chips.
In a rural place like Wolverton Common, fish and chips in a field feels just right. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Have a back-up for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
You shouldn’t have to worry about the food on the day. We park, set up, fry and serve, and keep in touch with you about timings.
Bunting or festoon lights around the van make it part of the decorations.

Other occasions in Wolverton Common
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.

The process
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. By late September, sunset in Wolverton Common is around 7:10pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 4:00pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.
