Fresh fish and chips in Wootton
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Next to a hog roast, a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies rather than one dish, which helps if some guests don’t eat pork. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.

Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Wootton? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Wootton questions
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary?
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. Send us the address.
How far is Wootton from London?
Roughly 60 miles from the centre of London.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.

A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.

With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Have a back-up for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Put bins and napkins by the van

After service, we pack up, leaving the pitch tidy.
Bunting or festoon lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
