For event organisers in Nyewood
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
How it works
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Guests normally gather round the hatch as soon as we open. In summer, a wake in Nyewood has light until about 9:20pm, but in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.
- 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 family and friends.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day

Nyewood questions
Is Nyewood too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Nyewood close to London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London.
How do we estimate numbers?
Start with a rough number, and we’ll plan with a little extra.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Is short notice a problem?
Wakes are often arranged quickly, so ask and we will reply quickly.
What if timings change?
Of course. We serve when people are ready.
What areas do you cover?

Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wake.
How we price fish and chips for the wake
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
- Travel, tolls and road charges
