A chip van also works for street parties, with the right permissions in place. Typical bookings include birthday parties and street parties and neighbourhood events, with cod and chips, pie and chips and gravy.
A country party near Wildmoor is perfect for fish and chips: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Have a firm back-up spot for wet weather. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Wildmoor parties: what to know
Wildmoor is about 4 miles north-east of Basingstoke, in Hampshire. Wildmoor is well within our area, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. We cover 683 places across Hampshire. We serve events right across the region, from Wildmoor to Reading (10 miles away).
Guests arriving by train should know that the nearest station is Bramley (Hants) station, about 2.8 miles north-west. Within reach of Wildmoor are historic houses such as The Vyne (3 miles west) and Stratfield Saye House (3.6 miles north). For most parties, a home or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict vehicle rules.

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.
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 normally the easier option.
Common questions in Wildmoor
Can you serve after a service at Church of St. Leonard?
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 Wildmoor from London?
Roughly 42 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can the van come to Wildmoor?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Wildmoor. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
Do you need power or water from us?
Tell us what’s available at the address when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Diets, allergies and planning
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- A picture of the parking spot helps
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Tell us how many children are coming
We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, then serve as guests come up.
Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.
The process
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. At midsummer, it’s light in Wildmoor until about 9:25pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
