A chip van near Woking
The process
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. A summer party in Woking stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Share the timings for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue

How our party fish and chip van works in Woking
Birthdays, garden parties, anniversaries and christenings all suit a fish and chip van. Everyone from toddlers to grandparents knows what they’re getting. Typical bookings include family parties with children and retirement parties, serving mushy peas, curry sauce and haddock and chips.
In Woking, parties range from back gardens to function rooms and clubs. We need a level spot to park. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Woking
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary of Bethany?
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 Woking from London?
Roughly 24 miles from the centre of London.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can the van come to Woking?
We do. Woking is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
What do children eat?
Most children go for sausage and chips. Let us know numbers and ages.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
For event organisers in Woking
Having the party at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Where the van can park in Woking
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A spot near your guests
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
A takeaway order for a party takes ages and arrives lukewarm. The van cooks right there. Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
