About our fish and chip van hire in Woodrow
Because the cooking is in the van, the weather does not stop us. That makes it a safe bet for British events. We are often asked to cater wakes and gatherings after a funeral and weddings, especially the evening, serving mushy peas, haddock and chips and gravy.
For a rural spot like Woodrow, the setting does plenty of the work. Let us know about access and ground conditions. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Woodrow questions
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you serve after a service at Church of the Holy Trinity?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.

How it works
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot when you’re ready to eat. Evening events need a little planning for light: around Woodrow, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive early, set up and get the fryers hot.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch at the agreed time.
- When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

A fish and chip van or other catering?
A plated meal needs a kitchen, more staff and normally costs more per head. A fish and chip van needs a level spot and permission to park, and the food is cooked to order.
