FAQs for Woodchurch
Do you come out to small places like Woodchurch?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van park in Stone Wood?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Kent included. Find your area.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Planning the van’s spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
A hog roast is pork only, while a chip van gives people a choice. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your party.
